Customize login page template for Authkit with Pylons?

I'm new to both Pylons and AuthKit. I have basic authentication via AuthKit working in my applic开发者_运维百科ation, but I don't know how to customize the template for the login page. The one included with AuthKit is very generic.

I found Pylons: Mako Templates in AuthKit, but I thought there might be a more up-to-date solution.

Pylons Book has chapters on authorization with AuthKit, among other things it talks about customizing your signin and signout pages.

The pylons book example for customizing the sign-in page does not work. It throws errors that I am yet to understand.
