[Pythonmac-SIG] Authentication via python?

[Benjamin Schollnick]

Folks,

I know that I was able to use the Authorization module on 10.5, but I¹m
testing this on Snow Leopard, and I¹m getting tons of errors when I attempt
to install it on Snow Leopard....

Is there any updates to Authorization, or a better work around?

        - Benjamin
