Hey Dave,

Any reason not to leverage the Red Hat kickstart tools that are written 
in Python?  Seems like if it's good enough for the Hatters, it ought to 
be good enough for OpenVDS.  And this is, again, a case where speed or 
systems level programming isn't needed.

(Besides, parsing the kickstart file would be /so/ much easier if the 
programmer doing the work could leverage the existing Python objects 
that do so, don't you reckon?)
