It's not quite clear to me whether you're talking about the client or
server end of things.  The httplib module is useful for web clients.
For the server end there are various options - CGI (with the help of
the CGI module), the Zope server, mod_snake or mod_python for Apache,
or similar extensions for IIS.

I assume by 'secure login' you mean that login information should be
sent over an SSL connection.  httplib doesn't support SSL 'out of the
box', but I think you can add that capability using one of the modules
listed at <http://www.vex.net/parnassus/apyllo.py?find=ssl>.
