Thanks a lot, could you please provide a short explanation how to integrate it? Thank you!

I tried it this way now:

class P2f_HttpDigestAuthentication(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self._authenticator = HttpDigestAuthenticator()

    def is_authenticated(self, request):
        return self._authenticator.authenticate(request)

    def challenge(self):
        return self._authenticator.build_challenge_response()

auth = P2f_HttpDigestAuthentication()

urlpatterns = patterns('myapp.api',
    url(r'^(?P<emitter_format>.+)/test/$',     Resource(TestHandler, authentication=auth)),
…

but no authentication is required. Any ideas?
