"""
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.
This can be an important distinction if you're implementing some
token based authentication mechanism, where the authentication
context may be more involved than simply mapping to a :obj:`User`.
