epub

I am writing an ebook reader that supports the epub format (i have the parsing of open epub working), but I would like to support the reading of Adobe DRM locked epubs.

I have read threw the adobe digital editions site (faq and support pages) and googled, but alas as yet I have not found any docs on the api to:

authorise the pc using the users adobe id creds and
decrypt the epub for parsing by my app.

Does anyone have any pointers to docs or apis?

I would prefer apis in Python, C++. But any api is better than nothing ;-)

UPDATE1: i am writing my app on Desktops (linux, mac and windows)
