Description: WWW-Authenticate header parser
        ==============================
        
        Parsing WWW-Authenticate headers is difficult. Let this tiny library do all the
        hard work for you.
        
        What's so difficult?
        --------------------
        
        The header contains a set of comma-separated challenges, but the parameters for
        each challenge are also comma-separated. Some challenges in the wild don't have
        parameters, which violates the spec. The ``Negotiate`` challenge eschews the
        required name-value pairs and has a single string as its parameter.
        
        Some servers may offer more challenges than you were expecting, but you'd still
        like to notice the one you care about.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        It's really easy::
        
           import www_authenticate
        
           parsed = www_authenticate.parse(response.headers['WWW-Authenticate'])
        
           if 'Basic' in parsed:
               realm = parsed['Basic']['realm']
           if 'Negotiate' in parsed:
               challenge = parsed['Negotiate']
        
        The returned object is a ``collections.OrderedDict`` with authentication scheme
        names as keys. The values are either dictionaries, a single string, or ``None``
        if there are no parameters.
        
        Installation
