Sorry Yogesh, I have absolutely no idea. I've only used the regular 
Swift client, not the python-cloudfiles library. Seems the cloudfiles 
library has a different way of authenticating...

You can see the cloudfiles library here:

https://github.com/rackspace/python-cloudfiles/blob/2c6f454bef05da7cd1eb28fa90f21914dc5dd6f2/cloudfiles/__init__.py

Though I will note that I don't see anything about the get_connection() 
method expecting that SwiftAuthentication object. :(

Best,
