-- and ESR and I are working on a (commandline) Python bug
submission tool. See bug 220724 for details (we should have a script
attached there RSN<tm>). 

What sort of .py interface do you provide?

Offshoot question: is there a consensus that moving to an XML-RPC
interface is what we should be doing (for a 'foreign interface')?

Take care,
