What you're describing is not something you can do with an interactive Python script. HTTP-level authentication is requested of your browser by the web server itself. On Apache there are numerous methods you can use. Individual users can use .htaccess directives to add authentication to a directory, for example. You'll need to learn about it: https://www.google.com/search?q=apache+http+authentication If you're using a framework like Django, there are mechanisms for checking the username and password against a Python method. Again, google for http authentication and whatever framework you're using. I once used a special python script that was called by an Apache module to verify users against a customized LDAP filter. Again, that involves server cooperation though a module. In general, the browser pops up the username and password box in response to a request from the web server. It's not something your CGI script can just do without some cooperation from the web server. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
