That's great news. I also added some more stuff to pykerberos like
user password changing:
 http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/calendarserver/ticket/256 
and very basic GSSWrap/Unwrap support (just enough to talk to dovecot).
Some of this has already been merged on the more-kerberos branch of
pykerberos's SVN but things move slowly there. 
We already have a packages in Debian that has these patches and I could
a add yours too if that makes sense.
