A captcha implemention for flask using flask-sessionstore <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-Sessionstore/>__ and captcha <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/captcha/>__ packages. Each captcha challenge answer is saved in the server side session of the challenged client.
For now it supports only simple numeric image captchas, but more could easily be added from the underlying captcha package <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/captcha/>__.
Requirements
Flask <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask/>__flask-sessionstore <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask-Sessionstore/>__ with packages depending on which SESSION_TYPE you use. E.g. sqlalchemy requires flask-sqlalchemy.captcha <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/captcha/>__
Usage
.. code-block:: python
import uuid
import logging
from flask import Flask, request, render_template
from flask_sessionstore import Session
from flask_session_captcha import FlaskSessionCaptcha
app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SECRET_KEY"] = uuid.uuid4()
app.config['CAPTCHA_ENABLE'] = True
app.config['CAPTCHA_LENGTH'] = 5
app.config['CAPTCHA_WIDTH'] = 160
app.config['CAPTCHA_HEIGHT'] = 60
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite://'
# In case you want to use another key in your session to store the captcha:
app.config['CAPTCHA_SESSION_KEY'] = 'captcha_image'
app.config['SESSION_TYPE'] = 'sqlalchemy'
Session(app)
captcha = FlaskSessionCaptcha(app)
@app.route('/', methods=['POST','GET'])
def some_route():
if request.method == "POST":
if captcha.validate():
return "success"
else:
return "fail"
return render_template("form.html")
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.debug = True
logging.getLogger().setLevel("DEBUG")
app.run()
Template can look as follows. captcha.validate() will be default try to validate against a form input with name "captcha".
.. code-block:: html
<form method="POST">
{{ captcha() }} <!-- This renders an <img> tag with the captcha img. -->
<input type="text" name="captcha">
<input type="submit">
</form>
It can also take a css_class argument to add classes to the generated DOM:
.. code-block:: html
<form method="POST">
{{ captcha(css_class="captcha") }}
<input type="text" name="captcha">
<input type="submit">
</form>
