*** Security warning: this version requires that you have a file
$HOME/.python_keyfile at the server and client side containing two comma-
separated numbers. The security system at the moment makes no guarantees
of actuallng being secure -- however it requires that the key file
exists and contains the same numbers at both ends for this to work.
(You can specify an alternative keyfile in $PYTHON_KEYFILE).

work. (You can specify an alternative keyfile in $PYTHON_KEYFILE).
Have a look at the Security class in security.py for details;
basically, if the key file contains (x, y), then the security server
class chooses a random number z (the challenge) in the range 10..100000
and the client must be able to produce pow(z, x, y) (i.e. z**x mod y).
