It seems pynetworkmanager is abandonware, it completely disappeared
from the web (apart from a couple of dead links on pages of some linux
distros that were packaging it).

I guess I'll just have to look into the source then, but I think a
stand-alone application would be useful for quite many based on the
number of such queries on various email lists.
