We did some work designing an OO GSSAPI binding for Python in November last 
year. I would imagine that some of the OO ideas would be useful from that 
work. Our approach was through necessity in securing a project written in 
Python. We used SWIG to wrap the functions and then added an OO layer. This 
allowed us to use an existing mechanism for the security but gave a neat OO 
feel from the application. The bindings can be seen at:

I should probably redo the format. Email me if you want some explanation of 
anything and we would be happy to contribute in some way if needed.
