Yosai with Darin Gordon

Summary

For any program that is used by more than one person you need a way to control identity and permissions. There are myriad solutions to that problem, but most of them are tied to a specific framework. Yosai is a flexible, general purpose framework for managing role-based access to your applications that has been decoupled from the underlying platform. This week the author of Yosai, Darin Gordon, joins us to talk about why he started it, his experience porting it from Java, and where he hopes to take it in the future.

    Interview
    • Introductions
    • How did you get introduced to Python?
    • What is Yosai and what is the problem that you were trying to solve when you started it?
    • How does Yosai compare to existing libraries for web frameworks such as Flask-Security or Django Guardian and why might someone choose Yosai instead?
    • In the documentation it mentions that Yosai is a port of the Apache Shiro framework from Java to Python. What was most difficult about exposing a Pythonic interface while maintaining the core principles of the original?
    • Authentication and authorization are difficult problem domains and can cause significant issues if they are not implemented in a secure fashion. How do you ensure an appropriate level of quality in Yosai to be confident having people use it?
    • To start can you describe how the framework is architected and what is involved in integrating it with a project?
    • Outside of the context of web applications, what are some situations where someone should consider integrating authentication and authorization into their project?
    • What have been some of the most challenging aspects of building the Yosai project?
    • Tell us about the Rust extension you wrote earlier this year
    • What do you have planned for the future of Yosai?
