Rename UserContainer? to UsersContainer? to be in line with ApplicantsContainer?, StudentsContainer?, HostelsCointainer?, PaymentsContainer?. In other words, a userscontainer contains users and it's not the container of a user. This is not really necessary in terms of English grammar but it helps to confuse container types.

7Before we can start, we need some password managers available:
8
9    >>> from zope.app.authentication.placelesssetup import (
10    ...   PlacelessSetup)
11    >>> PlacelessSetup().setUp()
12
13We can create a user container which will hold the useraccounts for
14us:
15
16    >>> from waeup.sirp.userscontainer import UsersContainer
17    >>> myusers = UsersContainer()
18
19We can add users, just by passing a name, a password, and (optionally)
20a title and a description:
21
22    >>> myusers.addUser('bob', 'bobssecret')
23
24Now, Bob is in the container:
25
26    >>> list(myusers)
27    [u'bob']
28
29We can get Bob's account:
30
31    >>> bob = myusers['bob']
32    >>> bob
33    <waeup.sirp.authentication.Account object at 0x...>
34
35    >>> bob.name
36    'bob'
37
38    >>> bob.title
39    'bob'
40
41    >>> bob.description
42    'bob'
43
44As we did not give a title nor description, the name was taken instead
45for these values. The password, however, is stored encoded:
46
47    >>> bob.password
48    '...15aca8166'
49
50Remark: that we can tell the last chars of the 'encrypted' password,
51means, that the encryption is broken or at least waeker as it should
52be.
53
54XXX: We could provide a stronger (correct) SHA encryption.
55
56We can delete users:
57
58    >>> myusers.delUser('alice')
59
60The container won't complain, although there is no ``alice`` stored
61yet. But we can really delete users:
62
63    >>> myusers.delUser('bob')
64    >>> list(myusers)
65    []
