hmmm... its worth a try I daresay. Beeing a total noob in Python, is
there a simple script of that kind for testing purposes around? If so
I am willing to try to install it on standard host and create a PHP
gui to it.

Actually I even thought on that :-)
But looking at the docs, this is heavy duty. Its not to easy to
learn.... on the other hand, the php would only need read support. If
there is an easy to understand doc and maybe someone who is a bit more
deeper into detail...
