Well, the solution seems to be something like (windows only)
import os
import os.path
import shutil
import sys
import win32wnet

def wnet_connect(host, username, password):
   unc = ''.join(['\\\\', host])
   try:
       win32wnet.WNetAddConnection2(0, None, unc, None, username, password)
   except Exception, err:
       if isinstance(err, win32wnet.error):
           # Disconnect previous connections if detected, and reconnect.
           if err[0] == 1219:
               win32wnet.WNetCancelConnection2(unc, 0, 0)
               return wnet_connect(host, username, password)
       raise err

if __name__ == '__main__':

   node = hostname
   dst = r'C:\temp\destination__'
   dst += node + r'.txt'
   wnet_connect(node,username,password)
   shutil.copyfile(r'\\' + node + r'\c$\temp\\al_lsf_log',dst)

I have a file on another machine on the local network (my machine and
local machines are on windows) and I want to copy it locally. Now the
machine requires authentication and when I try to do a
import shutil
shutil.copy(r'\\remotemachine\c$\temp\filename',r'C:\folder\test.txt')
and it gives me a IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: error, which I
expect. How do I provide authentication to copy this file?

Probably there are other ways, but the "net use" command looks easy enough. Execute "net help use | more" in a console to see the right syntax.
Use the subprocess module to run the command from inside Python.
