I've never used this particular object, but from general principals try
something like:
opts=tp.Methods_ ("Login").InParameters
opts.Properties_('Username').Value=taskfile.user_name
opts.Properties_('Password').Value=taskfile.password
opts.Properties_('AuthType').Value=1 # CHAP
tp.ExecMethod_('Login',opts)
