The default site was www.ckan.net, which had an Apache 301 redirect to ckan.net, but the problem was urllib was not rePOSTing stuff. This affected search parameters:

In [1]: import ckanclient

In [2]: c = ckanclient.CkanClient()

In [3]: c2 = ckanclient.CkanClient('http://ckan.net/api')

In [4]: c.package_search('', search_options={'groups':'openspending'})
Out[4]: 
{u'count': 2102,
 u'results': <generator object _result_generator at 0x10168b1e0>}

In [5]: c2.package_search('', search_options={'groups':'openspending'})
Out[5]: {u'count': 29, u'results': <generator object _result_generator at 0x10168b410>}

Thanks to borior for finding this and raising it.

The definition of the 'reader' role includes creating packages, which is too permissive for some CKAN instances (e.g. DGU). 'Reader' suggests only reading, so I think this role should avoid creating and editing.

All projects so far want all roles to be able to create users, so this stays as a Reader action for now, as a convenience.

Implementation:

• Action.PACKAGE_CREATE removed from reader's default_role_actions
• Visitor has a new default role, called 'anon_editor' which can edit packages, but not groups / auth groups - you have to log in for that.
• Migration script not needed?
• Code comments written, to make clear the suggested policy
