Swigging pays off

[sawyl]

My recent work with SWIG has paid off: I've been able to use my new interface to implement a batch monitoring daemon in less than a hundred lines of code.

Now that it looks like I've got the querying side of things working, I need to override the __setattr__ methods so that they call an API ATTROP_SET routine. With that in place, it should be possible to alter batch parameters on the fly, simply by changing the properties of python objects — talk about insanely great!
