Right, I guess I was meaning an example of a complete email-based login 
system.  Every python web framework has a basic login example like 
yours, but I haven't seen an application with a login system like many 
PHP apps - email notification of forgotten passwords, challenge-response 
login authentication, flexible authentication methods (mysql, LDAP, 
etc.), access control lists...  There are dozens of open source PHP apps 
that use login systems like these.  Of course they each do it from 
scratch differently every time though.
So maybe this is something I could try to create sometime using modpython.
