+
+The `PythonAuthenHandler` introduces an object that will handle the actual authentication process, in this case `trac.projects` is the name of a module to import (and thus must be located somewhere in the Python load path). 
+In this example, I created `.../site-packages/trac/projects` that contains this little script called `__init__.py`:
+
+{{{
+from mod_python import apache
+
+def authenhandler(req):
+    pw = req.get_basic_auth_pw()
+    user = req.user
+    if user == "admin" and pw == "trac":
+        return apache.OK
+    else:
+        return apache.HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED
+}}}
+
+that of course is just a sample. The name `authenhandler` comes from the default behaviour of mod_python, but you may specify a different one using the syntax `trac.projects::my_own_handler`.
