The only thing we want is python authentication.  I just commented out
everything else.  I will start again and try to minimize edits.  I am
rather clueless about the nature the minimum edits should have.

It seems that every configuration file needs python in every section
for it to be recognized.

I don't think we want to use the "users" file.  We only want to call
the python module for any request.

We will try again.

It's not clear why we would leave other stuff in if we are not using
anything but the python module.

Thanks for the tips.

Jim.
