Re: Heads-up - overlapped python merge needed soon(ish)

Looks really nice Nathan.  Yes I think that is the place for pmsubsys.pl 
as well as it is shared by both.   I think pmsubsys.py is pretty much 
okay so maybe that and the corresponding changes for pmcollectl.py could 
be pushed upstream while I tweak on pmatop a bit more.
I am thinking that there is little point in returning status in 
pmapi.py.   All exceptions are raised so it is not needed.  The gotcha 
is that some methods like pmExtractValue are now doing:
 return status, outAtom
would need to be changed to simply
 return outAtom
I was also speculating if it would be handy for pmExtractValue to return 
multiple values which pmFetch, pmLookupName, pmLookupDesc already do.
