What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Client is running on a window 7 machine (Or an xp machine) opening a json 
url which should return a json string
2. have an apache tomcat which uses ntlm authentication running
   on a windows xp machine 
3. i am trying the Basic example usage

What is the expected output? a python string

What do you see instead?
File 
"D:\quartz\WINSLA~1\WIN32-~4\build\ext\noarch\lib\python2.6\ntlm\HTTPNtlmAuthHan
dler.py", line 96, in http_error_401
  File "D:\quartz\WINSLA~1\WIN32-~4\build\ext\noarch\lib\python2.6\ntlm\HTTPNtlmAuthHandler.py", line 35, in http_error_authentication_required
