In all of my apps I have a userManager class that returns a user object. the core API is always the same (so I can use the same secure page and user management screen) but the userManager has different login and useradd / usedel functions.

I doubt there's anything terribly framework specific about a web-app user management API, at least nothing jumps out at me as obviously framework-specific. Every non-trivial web app needs a way to manage its users and lots of those management tasks are generic. Having such an API would be helpful both for framework implementers and for users, many of whom use more than one framework. It strikes me as at least roughly analagous to the DB-API -- modulo some differences, including that a user API lives higher in the conceptual stack than the DB-API does. I don't see any reason why core Webware developers can't take the lead in inquiring about the possibilities here. While I'm not a core developer, I would be willing to 1) do a bit of googlework to determine the state of user management in the Big 5 Python web frameworks; and 2) draft a note to the other groups a) summarizing the findings of (1), and b) introducing the idea of a common API.
