AuthKit is extremely light-weight although there isn't any code that
does exactly what you are after built in so you will have to read the
manual and decide the best way to integrate the cookie middleware in
authkit.authenticate.auth_tkt into your application.

Sorry, it is part of some legacy code I wrote at pythonweb.org. You can
install it with:
easy_install -f
http://pythonweb.org/eggs/http://pythonweb.org/eggs/web-0.6.1-py2.4.egg
The AuthDemo might be a bit sophisticated for your needs since it
includes a full registration and permissions system but it might give
you some ideas for your own app.
HTH,
James
