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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
