I'm not finding much info on this subject. But here's the most
interesting links I've found as of yet:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/456362
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread549516.html
http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread42319.html
http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html

Dunno if any of these will help you though. Sorry.
