im using python. is there a widely accepted way of doing it? it deals with some data management things, so i dont want to implement it like in stackoverflow, with anonymous accounts. i also don't want to roll my own system from scratch. any recommendations?

Are you talking about a web application? If so, OpenId is probably the way to go, and this library probably the most popular way to implement it in Python. If you're talking about user management for a NON-web app, please clarify your requirements and constraints!

yes, definitely a web app. thinking of doing facebook route too, but not sure how to intergrate everything

You can add Facebook Connect later -- first get OpenId to work, which gets you every decently-open authentication supplier;-). Have you read the two URLs I linked to? What problems are you seeing w/them?
