bottle has a built in auth_basic decorator that can be used on a view:

from bottle import auth_basic, request, route

def check(user, pw):
    # Check user/pw here and return True/False

@route('/')
@auth_basic(check)
def home():
    return { 'data': request.auth }

There are some libraries on GitHub like https://github.com/FedericoCeratto/bottle-cork that should help. It may be easier to integrate than the repoze library suggested in the related post.
