Aksed before, but no answer, so:

I'm working on a Python CGI using passwords, which for now i've 
implemented in a field that gets sent with the GET method. This is 
obviously insecure. I'm guessing that https might be the simplest way 
to add security, but am very open to any suggestions.

If it is to be https, i'd love to hear about any simpler ways to use 
it than the stuff pointed at by this news thread:

Life,
John
p.s. Thanks all for the answers to my 1.5.2 vs. 2.x question -- guess 
i'll work to retain compatibility for now at least
