Thanks for the reply. Maybe i should have gone into more details on what i have to actually do. I am sorry for not being clear and hence you kept guessing. The app requirments are simple it requires that the client is shown a user id and password field and if the user id and password matches a particular criteria i.e (userid : login@login.com and password: password), then it shows this as a sucess else it displays login fails.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "email based
authentication form"
Taken literally, to me it implies that you have a template email in
which someone fills out fields and sends it to "you", whereupon you will
take the information in the email, validate it, record it in some user
database, and email back some random account name and password.
Or it could mean you are supposed to have a web-page for users to
register, you record their name, password, and email address in a
database but do not activate it yet, then send an email to them with
instructions that they reply to it if they are really the person who
attempted to register. Then when you receive the reply you match it
against the database and activate the account.

Mistake #1 -- the time spent developing in Django could have been
spent studying the core Python library, which is what your "without any
frameworks" indicates.

Are you supposed to implement an SMTP daemon to receive/deliver
email messages, or only periodically read inbound email from a POP3
mailbox?
I'd suggest you start with the documentation for your version of
Pyhthon... In particular the "Python Standard Library" manual. Try the
chapter on "Internet Protocols and Support" (in my copy, for Python 2.7,
this is chapter 20), SimpleHTTPServer (20.19) and CGIHTTPServer (20.20),
poplib (20.9), smtplib (20.12), maybe smtpd (20.13).
On top of that, the chapter on "Internet Data Handling" (chapter 18
in my copy), email (18.1), mailbox (18.4)
"Data Persistance" (11), sqlite3 (11.13)
If you need a more capable server than the two mentioned above,
check the chapter "Interprocess Communication" (17), asyncore (17.6)

I would think the instructor wouldn't have given you a "no
frameworks" requirement if they expect assignments to have dependencies
on outside packages.
