My username contains '\' thats why it is giving problem.

Please help in these cases/ Suggest any other method to handle windows authentication with python...

You should try to url encode the back slash. Otherwise, your site seems to not want you to automate or Web scrape against it — OneCricketeer

You should post this as an answer and accept it so others can see that your problem was solved, especially if you solved it yourself :) — JeffC

Install win32com.client and then try the below code

from selenium import webdriver
import time
import win32com.client

driver=webdriver.Firefox()
driver.maximize_window()
driver.get('url')
shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")   
shell.Sendkeys("username")  
shell.Sendkeys("{TAB}")
shell.Sendkeys("password") 
shell.Sendkeys("{ENTER}")
time.sleep(5)
driver.quit()
