Python interface
When launched with -y MusE will initialize a Python bridge. This means that you can access MusE:s internals via Python trough Pyro (Python Remote Objects). An example of how to initialize the connection to MusE can be found in the distributed package under share/pybridge, a file named musepclient.py.
