Sure, I do use 3.3.1 .

But still, the apache conf will prompt the user for a user/pass ...
I'm rethinking this part now... The public part can be in another
namespace (url space).

I don't have any requirements for a database source ... I intended to
use a simple pickled dictionary to store the user/pass info - just as
a quick way of storing the info. (Wrinting the pickle wil be rare
anyway).

BTW,
any particular modules in mind that I could use??
