Thanks! That looks like exactly what I need. I don't see any reference to
that method in the documentation pdf, and even searching for it
specifically it's not very prominent in the google results, so I guess it's
no wonder I didn't find it on my own. Now that I know what I'm looking for
it's easy to find in pydoc though.
I'll be able to give this a test tonight.
Thanks again!
