As Ben already has pointed out, you have various options for the
choice of the web application framework. I add "Zope[2]" to these options,
potentially together with "Products.PluggableAuthService" and
"dm.zope.rpc".

"Zope" is a so called web application framework which comes with everything
typically required for web applications: url traversal, authentication,
publishing, persistent storage in an object oriented database (the "ZODB",
"Zope Object DataBase"), transaction system, permissions and roles,
user management, ...
The real application comes into existence either by putting objects
into the ZODB or by registering "view"s with the framework.

The framework can be easily extended.
"Products.PluggableAuthService" is such an extension to get
an extremely flexible subframework for special authentication
and authorization needs.
"dm.zope.rpc" is another extension which facilitates the
implementation of "rpc" (= "Remote Procedure Call") services with
Zope based on different protocols.
