Pamela: yet another Python wrapper for PAM

There seems to be a glut of Python wrappers for PAM that have since been abandoned. This repo merges two separate efforts:

gnosek/python-pam
- adds wrappers for a few more calls, e.g. opening sessions
- raises PamError on failure instead of returning False, with informative error messages
simplepam
- adds Python 3 support
- resets credentials after authentication, apparently for kerberos users

Why?

Both projects appear to be abandoned, with no response to issues or pull requests in at least a year, and I need it for JupyterHub.

Install:

pip install pamela

Test:

python -m pamela -a `whoami`
