something like that ?

 >>> csw.transaction(ttype='insert', typename='gmd:MD_Metadata', 
record=open("metadata.xml").read(), username='admin', password='admin')
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: transaction() got an unexpected keyword argument 'username'

but it seems that username is not accepted... please, tell me.
