The Python bindings don't have authentication providers implemented. So
unless you want to implment the thunking for them then you can't do
anything about this. I did the ones for the Perl bindings and it's a
big pain to get them to work. However, you can certainly look at how
the Perl bindings did it to help in figuring it out.
