Thanks, I saw your other mail too late.  I added this nonsense to my 
library. :-)  (My structure analyzer takes 0.3s on my oldish notebook; at 
least that's not likely to be confused with an infinite loop.  And it's a 
worst case scenario, so I guess it's OK.)

Yes, that's also my impression, but the situation improved lately (in the 
past, even the manual download was hard to find).  And I use the python 
bindings for several of my private (tagging) projects and they worked very 
fine so far though.  (For 2-3 years I'd say.)

Don't know if that wouldn't be too much work (which would better be spent 
elsewhere).
