  yeah the problem is to map it to a Python string and the best is
then to do the wrapper manually, If you feel like making a patch
it's welcome, it's good if others could get their hands on the Python
wrapping code to speed its development :-) (Look at libxslt/python/libxslt.c
and libxml/python/libxml.c for other example of wrappers and how
to register them -- at the end of the .c )
