In my quest to figure out how to keep using Google App Engine when Python27 
eventually goes away, I've just run into yet another case where something 
simple seems to have been replaced with a nightmare of complexity 
<https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/migrate-to-python3/migrating-services#user_authentication>.

In my old app.yaml, I had this:

- url: /admin/.*
  script: main.app
  secure: always
  login: admin

Unfortunately, python37 doesn't support login: admin any more (!). I'm facing a 
mountain of documentation detailing a bunch of different ways I can do 
authentication now.

Stack overflow is no help at all in simplifying this.

Anyone here have advice on the easiest possible way to get the old Python27 
behavior that you have to be logged in as the app administrator in order to hit 
a certain URL?

This isn't for ensuring crons are only run by cron. That seems pretty easy by 
looking at headers.

This is for when you have administrative functions that only the developers 
need access to, and I'm looking for the easiest way to ensure a URL is only 
accessible to those particular people.

In case it matters, I'm using Flask.
