+Python-GSSAPI is a Python binding to the Generic Security Service
+Application Program Interface (GSSAPI). The GSSAPI provides a uniform
+interface to security services which applications can use without
+having to worry about implementation details of the underlying
+mechanisms. The most commonly used mechanism is Kerberos v5, and this
+package provides an easy way to use Kerberos authentication and
+security from Python code.
