Thanks, build and install is one of the major "todo" items for gmetad-python. I will take a look at this and get it committed.
There are also a number of other cleanup and testing items left to do. One of the major clean up items is to refactor the dataStore and Element classes so that they are more self contained. IOW, so that the other classes and functionality don't have to know so much about the internals of the dataStore and Element classes in order to use them (ie. the xml writer functionality that produces the XML output). Anybody who wants to dive in and start tying up all of the loose ends in gmetad-python, is certainly welcome.
