-"""
-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.
