python - Getting tweepy authentication from password and username

I'm using tweepy's streaming service and want to be able to have multiple users (on different computers) access this. This rules out the use of a single set of oauth identifications. How can I get this authentication using just the username and password of the user?

Twitter no longer supports Basic Auth (using usernames and passwords). However, Twitter does provide xAuth, which allows you to use a username and password, but only if you really need to.

Couldn't you store different OAuth tokens, one for each user?
