DEMO: Python - Authenticate Against NTLM

ntlm_auth_demo.py

# A simple demonstration of authenticating against ntlm.
# In this case we needed to be certain that we could access 
# the SharePoint REST API through python.
import requests
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth

def rest_test(domain, user, password, url):
	# create a session
	session = requests.Session()

	# add ntlm auth to session
	# 	requests-kerberos also available in pypi if needed
	auth = auth=HttpNtlmAuth(domain + '\\' + user, password, session)

	# send a GET using the session and auth
	response = session.get(url, auth=auth)

	# explicitly close the connection
	response.connection.close()

	#send requests as long as the session stays open.

	print response.content

	# explicitly close the session
	session.close()
