[python-win32] Kerberos Authentication

I am trying to create server that needs to authenticate clients using
Kerberos.

Assuming the clients are presenting a Kerberos Service Ticket to the Server,
I need a way to:
1. Unpack the ticket
2. Decrypt the encrypted part and recover the Session Key. (Assuming I have
have access to my Server's Master Key)

I was wondering if there any way I can achieve this using pywin32

The sspi module is helpful, but does not help me in case the client is not a
Windows Machine.
For instance,  Linux clients  "separately" acquiring a Service Ticket and
then presenting it to my server.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
