NTLM is mentioned here: http://ntlmaps.sourceforge.net/

Others have pointed to Iron Python for this sort of thing. I would
think that you could use COM.

Here's a link that uses Iron Python: http://blog.glenc.net/2007/08/12/sharepoint-meet-python/

Finally, it looks like someone wrote some kind interface:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pysharepoint

Hope that helps!
