Ehm the above code is the draklog one, and it was use to create a
wizard to setup mail alert.
It's not implemented yet, in the new log viewer so any new input can be
added now.

I read your comment in draklog bug, i have taken a note and i will
ask you to explain it better to me, since i'm not very familiar with
all this stuff.

About binding, well libyui allows also to use python and ruby,
so rewriting my rubbish - quoting Steven :p - to re-implementing
another rubbish in python it could be possible and easy :D

Anyway, Col ehm you could help in this project...
...we will be very happy :D

Cheers,
	Angelo (who continues trying involve people :D)
