I have (finally!) put a package up on our website that provides a Python module for sending file descriptors down Unix-domain sockets, on Linux.
See the first item under: http://www.mca-ltd.com/index.php?PAGE=resources/home.php
Please let me know of any problems, obvious omissions, etc...
BTW: I just found out about bindd (see the README), and could probably
clean the code up from the examples in its sourcecode, but the current
version of fdcred works for me!
Sorry it has taken so long!
I notice that you have used the LGPL for your code. Could you be convinced to use a Python style license?
This would mean that some time in the (hopefully not too distant) future the code could be added to the standard socket module.
