"""
The :mod:`authentication` module provides a set of pluggable authentication classes.
Authentication behavior is provided by mixing the :class:`mixins.AuthMixin` class into a :class:`View` class.
The set of authentication methods which are used is then specified by setting the
:attr:`authentication` attribute on the :class:`View` class, and listing a set of :class:`authentication` classes.

permissions classes (see the :mod:`permissions` module) on the view can
handle the object and use it to determine if the request has the required
permissions or not.

based authentication mechanism, where the authentication context
may be more involved than simply mapping to a :obj:`User`.
