Have a look at win32security.LogonUser and
win32security.ImpersonateLoggedOnUser.  There is a nice example in the
Python Cookbook (print edition only, I think?) on page 257.  I have also
used a COM object called sfImpersonator to some success.  You probably
*could* spawn a cmd file and use popen to send the password, but it
would have to be a hack.
