Hi Halim:

I haven't looked at it yet, but I believe the python bindings Jan is 
referring to are the current 'speechd' bindings used by the speech 
dispatcher stuff that's in Orca.  My assumption is that Jan is 
proposing these as the API to start from, with possible 
additions/modifications to be made for things that might need 
improvement.
