auth is an instance of Auth that you have defined in your model. Auth happens to have a __call__ method so auth will be callable like a function.
When called auth uses the first argument (request.args(0)) to get the correct user function (login, register, etc) from Auth using getattr and returns its result, these return similar enough results (mostly just a form) that they can all use the same view in default/user.html.
