Spring Python has a section concerning Application Security you may be
interested in. (http://springpython.python-hosting.com/wiki/
ApplicationSecurity). This offers the ability to authenticate users,
but also manage what functions they can execute based on granted roles
through aspect oriented programming.

Right now, the current release supports flat-file user systems, but
the next release will also include database user stores. There are
future plans to integrate with other user stores like LDAP and so
forth.
