There's an aete parser in gensuitemodule, so using that as documentation it 
shouldn't be too difficult to create a Python module that creates aete 
resources. Creating a genmoduleaete.py (or genclassaete.py, which is probably 
better) which creates a aete resource given a description (and which could 
possibly also generate the glue code which has to sit between MiniAEFrame and 
your class implementation) should be a couple of days work. If someone feels 
the urge I'll gladly accept contributed code:-)
