It turns out this was my mistake. I copied the [[BR]] macro which has 
this line at the top:

Dependencies = []

I should have just commented it out. Both this:

# Dependencies = []

and this:

Dependencies = ["time"]

work fine for me.

I ended up putting everything into macro/UserLoginForm.py and 
action/UserLogin.py. This has the advantage of separating the form 
generation code entirely from the actual logic of logging someone in or 
out, so that action can be used elsewhere.
