Although the code in the last release does not support authentication
(hence needing the above code), the code currently in SVN does support
it. Instead of separate user and password arguments, a new
"credentials" optional argument ((user, password) tuple, defaulting to
None) has been added. So if you are using Rob Wolfe's approach, it may
be easier for you to use "credentials" because your code will not need
to change when Python 2.6 appears.
