login script to database

[Peter.....]

Hi all.

I want to make a login script( using python) to a homepage.
The password and name is stored in a PostgreSQL database, so I have to go to
connect to the database ( I know how to do that )
but I dont know how to write a login script in python and how to look if the
password and name entered is the same as in the database, if it is I want to
link to a webpage www.webpage.com if it isnt I want it to write a message
like " Wrong password entered "

Can any help me out

Thanks for your time..

Peter,
Have you had a look at the capabilities of the Apache module mod_auth. I
believe there's an extension module allowing basic authentication off a
PostgreSQL database. This would alleviate your need to write any code at
all!
