This Python extension module provides a simple function called kpass() to perform password verification using Kerberos 5. It is intended for use by applications that cannot use the Kerberos protocol natively, but need to authenticate users against the Kerberos database. If it must be run on a system that receives a username and password over the network, steps should be taken to ensure that these are passed to that system in a cryptographically secure manner.
