            Bug ID: 1288508
           Summary: Python PMAPI and namespaces methods
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 23
         Component: pcp

Description of problem:
Alternate namespaces are usually not needed as is well explained in
http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/pcp/2015-November/008783.html. However, Python
PMAPI currently implements pmLoadNameSpace() but not pmLoadASCIINameSpace() or
pmTrimNameSpace() (which is also needed in some corner cases, see
http://oss.sgi.com/pipermail/pcp/2015-December/008844.html) so the current
situation is inconsistent.

Let's use this BZ to either to implement the missing methods (merely for the
sake of completeness) or, if preferred, to documented the lack of them and
perhaps mark the currently available pmLoadNameSpace() as deprecated in the
Python PMAPI.

Thanks.
