I wish to write a python program to read the pin names etc.
of a running HAL session. I don't know how to do this nor
do I have a good idea of how to do it, so I can research.

There are a couple of reasons I wish to do this: To begin I
would like to make a test panel for Mesa cards.
My efforts to do this inside of PNcconf were frustratingly close
but I can not get it to work reliably. Something about making
a HAL component inside of PNCconf. When you exit the component it
doesn't completely remove it....crash the second time you open the test
panel.

I wish to try this other route also for the future of PNCconf's ability to
read the available pins of Mesa products. The XML file approach was 
a fine way when there was only a few firmwares but doesn't work well
since we don't issue any new one (in the official repository) to work 
with the newest hardware.

So I am hoping someone could point me in a direction.
The only way I can think of is redirecting a halcmd show to a temporary
file then parse that but that seems pretty kludgey....Is there a better way?
