+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)
