The idea is to login and parse an xml template with a non python
client so the API is out.
I just want to figure it out with python so I can port what I learned to C#.
Basically the idea is that I want to add an ExternalQueryDriver to
beagle (http://gnome.org/projects/beagle) so I can return search hits
on parts etc. that I have in roundup.

The other thing I could do is write a REST-like web service that sits
inbetween roundup and my client and queries the API and returns xml
but I'm trying to avoid that...
cheers,
