[Open-scap] Importing openscap library in Python

[Ed]

Thanks Peter. Just checked it out. Works like a charm. :-)

########  Few quick implementation questions ##########

I'm no swig genius, but I noticed I can't access many of the data types that
are represented in the C example (like oval_import_source). It looks like
these are hidden. (And accessed from the common 'oscap' functions??) Is that
correct?

I'm able to import an oval file with "oscap_import_source_new(file,
encoding)". Is this this intention, or should there be an
oval_import_source_new function as well?

If going through oscap_import_source object is correct, how would I get from
an "oscap_import_source" type to an "oval_import_source" type?

Thanks for all the hard work and help thus far!!
