Arun, Though what you describe might be desirable for some, it is quite different from the bindings translator. The goal of the python bindings translator is to provide a translator which is generic enough to achieve *some* tasks in a python script. The main use case is to implement hooks as python callbacks where users can implement the callback function in python. There is an old prototype of such a translator in the glusterfs codebase. Please have a look at what that was achieving. It would be mostly along those lines, but for the new translator API.
