As of 2.6.10, a very useful new netlink family was merged -
NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT. I'd imagine quite a lot of interest from Python
developers for NETLINK support will come from this new interface in the
coming years.

I would like to see (optional?) support for this before your patch is
merged. I have a long-term interest in a Python-based service control /
init replacement / system management application, for use in specialised
environments. I could definately use this. :)
Thanks,
David.
