The tricky part is, perhaps, to fetch the token from the ticket
cache. This would normally require wrappig the Kerberos library as a
Python module, which hasn't been done for Kerberos 4; perhaps you
could adapt

http://starship.python.net/crew/fdrake/manuals/krb5py/
http://pygss.sourceforge.net/

Alternatively, you could try invoking command line utilities, and try
to generate an authenticator from that.
