Ok, can this discussion go off python-dev, please? This has been terribly off-topic for a long time (arguably from the beginning, actually).

Thank you

Antoine.

OK, let's pull this discussion down a level: testing it out. So I tried to login to the crossword.thetimes.co.uk -- I used an email address persona had never seen, it asked me for a password, and sent me a confirmation message, containing a link that I clicked on. However, as I was reading clues and filling in blanks, I got a popup that said "login failure [object Object]". And crossword told me it was saving locally, and to login to save to the server. And the Log in button stayed displayed, rather than a Log out button, which I assume it might get replaced with if I ever get successfully logged in. Firefox 23.0.1, Windows 7 64-bit with autoupdates. Need any other info? Write me privately if you want the email address I used (not the one I use here), or the password. I used new ones, so I can share for testing, and then discard them and use different ones "for real". If the system actually works. Hey, the video demos looked great... Glenn
