I'll check this out. It should be available for both C modules as well as
Python modules. I think I just need to fix the libconfuse parser.
Yes, the python doc should be in the README rather than under the python module
directory. It landed there because I didn't know where else to put it at the
time since the whole module stuff was very new at the time. Now that we are
down the road a little ways and getting ready for a release, we should move
this doc. I think I already updated the manpage doc so that should be good.
