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!
