Hey Nippun, Sorry that I am slow in responding here (it has been an awfully busy week). You are right that we did face a bunch of obstacles in this project, but I am really excited that you managed to overcome them. Great work! I'm looking forward to getting #3030 merged, and then we can start blasting through the bindings and grouping them to provide a nice 'class' interface in Python. The "results" section makes my mouth water a little bit (or, maybe I am just hungry, not sure). :) -- Ryan Curtin | "I don't really want to do that."
