Auth API in Python

[Peter Maas]

Is there such a thing in Python or attempts to build one? Something
like JAAS for Java?

Depending on what you are looking for, you may want to look at Pubcookie
(www.pubcookie.org). It is only useful if you're trying to secure access
to web applications, but it does a fine job at that. It's not written in
Python, but you never really need to interact with it directly, as it
takes authentication completely out of the application.
It has pluggable authentication methods (which can be a Python script),
and works well on Unix and Windows, with both Apache and IIS.
