This changes the code back to retrying up to 5 times for old
python version 2.6.6-2.7.9. The complete backport of the basic auth
changes clutters up the code way to much for such a little gain.
(This basically reverts commit 326abe0c8b)
It is possible that the self._pwfunc() call returns a callable. For
instance, if the keyutils.osc.OscKernelKeyringBackend is configured
in the oscrc. Hence, check in credentials._LazyPassword.__str__
if the returned password is a callable and, if so, call it. Moreover,
a deprecation warning is printed. Eventually, this compat code will
be removed again.
This is a follow-up commit for commit
784d330f20 ("Only prompt for a password
if the server asks for it") (actually, it is a regression that was
not caught during the review...).
Only ask for a password if it is really needed for authentication.
The new lazy password approach is much smarter than the old callable
hack. That's why we deprecate returning a callable from
AbstractCredentialsManager.get_password. The current compatibility code
for a callable will be removed in the near future.
Minor nitpick: actually it would have been "cleaner" to introduce a new
subclass like an AbstractLazyPasswordCredentialsManager that encapsulates
the lazy password behavior. Currently, if, for instance, a credentials
manager is always non-lazy it would just override get_password but still
inherits the abstract (and unused) _get_password method.
In many cases the session cookie is already available, so there
is no need to ask for a password. To make this work with the
python authentication implementation, we add a small proxy object
for the password and only ask the credential manager if the
stringify method is called.
This approach also makes it possible to offer a non-password based
authorization type if the server allows multiple authentication
methods.
This applies when downloading multiple packages, typically the whole repo.
When downloading a single package, everything works as usual
and the subdir is not created.
