Take the 2-minute tour ×  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!  share|improve this question Which python
library are you using? There are several listed on the python
wiki page (wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Getting_started_with_Python)

to find couchDB doc on disabling auth (locally) –  idiotype Nov
