=============== Macaroon Bakery

A Python library for working with macaroons.

Installation

The easiest way to install macaroonbakery is via pip::

$ pip install macaroonbakery

macaroonbakery was developed around pymacaroons. On ubuntu, you can get libsodium from a ppa::

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yellow/ppa -y
$ apt-get install libsodium13

Usage

Interacting with a protected url, you can use the BakeryAuth provided to deal with the macaroon bakery

>>> from macaroonbakery import httpbakery
>>> jar = requests.cookies.RequestsCookieJar()
>>> resp = requests.get('some protected url',
                        cookies=jar,
                        auth=httpbakery.BakeryAuth(cookies=jar))
>>> resp.raise_for_status()

You can use any cookie storage you'd like so next subsequent calls the macaroon saved in the cookie jar will be directly used and will not require any other authentication (for example, cookielib.FileCookieJar).
