couchDB , python and authentication

couchdb, python

Solution

To concour David's reply, (i.e. "This is how I do it using module CouchDB 0.8 in python 2.6 with couchdb 1.0.2")

couch = couchdb.Server(couch_server)

couch.resource.credentials = (USERNAME, PASSWORD)

Problem

I have installed couchDB v 0.10.0, and am attempting to talk to it via python from Couch class downloaded from couchDB wiki. Problem is: ``` Create database 'mydb': {'error': 'unauthorized', 'reason': 'You are not a server admin.'} ``` I hand edited the local.ini file to include my standard osx login and password. I now have full access via futon but no joy WRT python. Is this an http header issue? At a a loss - thanks!
