This code might help you:

  http://tor.dhs.org/~zephyrfalcon/snippets/source/338.py

  http://tor.dhs.org/~zephyrfalcon/snippets/source/298.py

N.B. I do not maintain the snippets site anymore; you should be able to
find the same code, and possibly more, at the Python FAQTS site
(http://python.faqts.com).
