Need a python authentication / authorization framework

Question

I'm writing a web application that requires authentication / authorization. That is, this web app will allow users to log into the site and gain access to material not accessible to anonymous users. Unfortunately, Flask does not come with a built in authentication / authorization system. Experts highly discourage rolling out a custom system, so I don't want to do this. Is there a good, full-fledged authentication / authorization framework that I can use for my application?

I've definitely considered it. I really like the minimalist approach of Flask though. Do you think that Flask's lack of authentication / authorization system is a good enough reason to just drop it and go with a full stack framework? — Michael
