[Open-scap] Problem with openscap_api bindings

[Maros Barabas]

Hi Josh,

     thanks for bug report. Try to patch openscap_api.py file with the patch 
from attachment. It's all about "smart" looking for what parameters calling 
function required, but it is not smart at all. I need to rewrite this section 
of binding API completely. For now try the patch as a quick fix, I'm going to 
rewrite it.
