Are you still using authn_passthru? If so, it won't work, you need to
use one of the other modules.
Using the configfile one, it works fine for me:
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> remote = xmlrpclib.Server("http://127.0.0.1/cobbler_api";)
>>> token = remote.login('cobbler','testing')
>>> token
'QXdyOx2ixL81YLyAtdEhmKWku5KqXHLS0Q=='
The API does not use a different authentication method from the webui,
since the webui does everything over XMLRPC the same way essentially
as shown above.
