Somewhere in your handler for /:
if users.get_current_user() is None:
self.response.out.write("<a href='" + users.create_login_url('/') +
"'>Click here to login</a>")
When a user clicks the resulting link, they'll go to the login page,
log in, and get sent back to your page, where the login link won't
show anymore.
