I am looking to use xauth in python ?

It is for my command line process,
I would like to have few examples
and resources.

A simple example ....

import subprocess as SP

proc = [ 'xauth' , 'list' , ':0' ]

pipe = SP.Popen( proc , stdout = SP.PIPE )

data = pipe.stdout.readline()

print '\n' , data

First, by "xauth" do you mean the X11 authorization scheme, or the
"extended authentication" (xauth.org) scheme? The name is
unfortunately overloaded.

Second, have you tried googling for "python xauth"?
