Hmm, the link says that "AuthSub proxy authentication is used by web applications which need to authenticate their users to Google accounts".
What I am trying to do is something different. I would give my visitors a PIN generated by me. The PIN would be validated by my app, not by Google. If a PIN is valid, then based on the PIN value a feed from a corresponding private Picasa album would be opened. The users are NOT expected to have a Google account in order to see private albums. On the other hand: what are the risks of having a plain text password in a python script file? If I understand correctly, the users do not have access to the content of the file itself, only to HTTP responses generated by that script.
