  Well the catalog is in that case attached to a document parsing context
not to a finished document. It's probably a matter of a couple hours for
me to write it or a day or two for you to understand and submit a patch :-)
Not really in the horizon, but since it not too long or difficult that
could be done. But I would appreciate if others with knowledge of python
learned how the bindings are done.
