I would not recommend gluino at this time (even if I wrote it) because it was an experiment it is not clear where it is going. If you want Flask for DAL look into https://github.com/gi0baro/weppy
Anyway, web2py, Flask and weppy are all good choices. Web2py offers you the web IDE, the builtin authentication, and more automated form logic.
