Yes. The correct approach is to:

a) do a Google search on "RTF specification", find the latest version of
the RTF specs, and read through them to determine whether what you want
to do is supported by RTF itself. If it is, then:

b) Ask Simon Cusack, the author of PyRTF, whether PyRTF supports these
attributes or if not, the best way to go about adding support for them, or

c) just add the features yourself to PyRTF and send Simon a copy of your
modified code.
