As a heads up:

I started looking into porting pam-python to Python 3 a while back, but 
cancelled that due to its licence.

pam-python is licenced under AGPL, which is the worst copyleft licence around 
due to its complications regarding embargoed security fixes and impossible 
requirements regarding delivery of source code.

For these reasons, AGPL software is banned by many big IT companies and some 
public bodies.

I decided to ignore pam-python and rewrite things I need in Rust. I could also 
write a new Python wrapper under a sane licence if we need one.
