Yes, go ahead and try it out.

AFAIK it's nautilus that drives this, the beauty and perhaps the danger
of this is that you could open up any thing you wanted from something
like this.   

A lot of this is boiler-plate code, there really isn't too much to this.
And there are python bindings to do all this too, however I don't know
if we package those either.
