pyrad is an implementation of a RADIUS client/server as described in RFC2865. It takes care of all the details like building RADIUS packets, sending them and decoding responses.

Here is an example of doing a authentication request:

from pyrad.client import Client
from pyrad.dictionary import Dictionary
from pyrad.packet import PacketCode

client = Client(server="localhost", secret=b"Kah3choteereethiejeimaeziecumi",
                dict=Dictionary("dictionary"))

# create request
req = client.create_auth_packet(code=PacketCode.ACCESS_REQUEST,
                                User_Name="wichert", NAS_Identifier="localhost")
req["User-Password"] = req.pw_crypt("password")

# send request
reply = client.send_packet(req)

if reply.code == PacketCode.ACCESS_ACCEPT:
    print("access accepted")
else:
    print("access denied")

print("Attributes returned by server:")
for key in reply.keys():
    print("{key}: {reply[key]}")

pyrad requires Python 3.6 or later

Installing is simple; pyrad uses the standard distutils system for installing Python modules:

python setup.py install
