I'm guessing it's too late to choose a two-factor solution with an open API and open source python examples? :) Oh well. I recommend going with pyrad and using the Radius interface. This will allow you to use a third party radius server if you want and since all the two-factor vendors support radius, you won't have to re- write the apps if you switch strong authentication vendors.
