Not trivial.  You have to have run genpy on the relevant tbl; then
you can either DispatchWithEvents (then the object whose events
you're catching, and the code you're catching them with, get
mixed-in into just one object... hmmm), or getevents and derive
your class from that.  The former is advised as it takes care for
you to avoid possible reference-loops via some proxy trickery.

The object methods that will receive the events will always be
named OnDownloadBegin, etc, etc, with either choice.
