Description: # django-cancango
        
        `django-cancango` is an authorization library for Django. It works on top of default Django permissions and allows to restrict the resources (models and objects) a given user can access.
        
        This library is inspiered by `cancancan` for Ruby on Rails.
        
        ## Quick start
        
        1. Add `cancango` to your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting like this:
        
        ```python
        INSTALLED_APPS = [
            ...,
            'cancango',
        ]
        ```
        
        2. Create a function that define user abilites. For example, in `abilities.py`:
        
        ```python
        def declare_abilities(user, ability):
            if not user.is_authenticated:
                # Allow anonymous users to view published articles
                return ability.can('view', Article, published=True)
        
            if user.has_perm('article.view_own_article'):
                # Allow logged in user to change his articles
                return ability.can('change', Article, author=user)
        
            if user.is_superuser:
                # Allow superuser change all articles
                return ability.can('change', Article)
        ```
        
        3. Configure `cancango` by adding `CANCANGO` section in `settings.py`:
        
        ```python
        CANCANGO = {
            'ABILITIES': 'myapp.abilities.declare_abilities'
        }
        ```
        
        Next, add `cancango` middleware after `AuthenticationMiddleware`:
        
        ```python
        MIDDLEWARE = [
            ...
            'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
            'cancango.middleware.CanCanGoMiddleware',
            ...
        ]
        ```
        
        Adding the middleware adds `request.user.can(...)` function that you can use
        to check for model or object permissions.
        
        4. Check abilities in a view:
        
        ```python
        class ArticleDetailView(PermissionRequiredMixin, DetailView):
            queryset = TodoItem.objects.all()
        
            def has_permission(self):
                article = self.get_object()
                return self.request.user.can('view', article)
        ```
        
        ## Testing
        
        Run `./manage.py test` to run all test for the `testapp`
