hi, Jon,
twill is built on top of mechanize -- and at the moment, mechanize only
supports HTTP Basic Authentication.
However, looking at
http://xhaus.com/alan/python/proxies.html
it looks like there are a number of packages out there that support NTLM
authentication via a proxy. At the worst you could always hook
twill/mechanize up to those; at the best, someone could swipe the code
and put it into mechanize or twill. Right now that'd be possible with
the LGPL licensed code on the page...
