The path segments which appear after the __login__ segment in the login 
form you generate will be used as the target of the redirect after 
login. Unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem, because you want 
to redirect based on the type of login. Perhaps the resource you return 
as / can immediately do a redirect to the appropriate URL? For example:

class Redirector:
     __implements__ = inevow.IResource,

     def __init__(self, avatar):
         self.avatar = avatar

     def calculateAppropriateRedirectURL(self):
         if self.avatar.admin: return '/Admin/'
         return '/Home/'

     def locateChild(self, ctx, segments):
         return self, ()

     def renderHTTP(self, ctx):
         
inevow.IRequest(ctx).redirect(self.calculateAppropriateRedirectURL())

Perhaps also this redirect would only happen once, and set some state 
on self indicating it happened, and then do a normal page render if the 
user visited / after the first time.
