I have begun to work on an easy setup, integrated with the way web2py
works. I have little free time to work on it, so it's not finished yet, but
I hope to have it ready soon.
It's based on manual implementations I have done in production
applications, but done in a more general and easy to use way.
I will share with you the git repo as soon as I finish it, just in case
anybody wants to use or improve it.
Regards.
