pygsmd, alpha release announcement :)

[Sudharshan S]

Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the alpha release of pygsmd, python bindings
for the libgsmd API. The current build is set against revision 93 in the
SVN head. Theres also an example script that mimics libgsmd-tool in
shell mode, That should give an idea of how to use pygsmd in your code.
Please do take a look at it. Its been a good learning experience so far
and would love to hear your comments. Please do consider contributions
towards the project. (If there is a python distutils expert lurking
here, we need your help :))

The initial ipks are available here

All the known issues and other information are available in the release
notes and the README in the svn repository. 

The project page is available here
