aiohttp
:term:`asyncio` based library for making web servers.
asyncio
The library for writing single-threaded concurrent code using
coroutines, multiplexing I/O access over sockets and other
resources, running network clients and servers, and other
related primitives.
Reference implementation of :pep:`3156`
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/asyncio/
authentication
Actions related to retrieving, storing and removing user's
:term:`identity`.
Authenticated user has no access rights, the system even has no
knowledge is there the user still registered in DB.
If :term:`request` has an :term:`identity` it means the user has
some ID that should be checked by :term:`authorization` policy.
identity
Session-wide :class:`str` for identifying user.
Stored in local storage (client-side cookie or server-side storage).
Use :coroutine:`~aiohttp_session.remember` for saving *identity* (sign in)
and :coroutine:`~aiohttp_session.forget` for dropping it (sign out).
*identity* is used for getting :term:`userid` and :term:`permissions`.
userid
User's ID, most likely his *login* or *email*
