Python abstraction of a credential
Description:
This module offers an abstraction of a credential, i.e. something that can be used to authenticate. It allows the creation and manipulation of credentials. In particular, it defines a standard string representation (so that credentials can be given to external programs as command line options), a standard structured representation (so that credentials can be stored in structured configuration files or using JSON) and "preparators" that can transform credentials into ready-to-use data for well known targets. The python module auth.credential is compatible with the Perl module Authen::Credential.
