It's worse than that.

parted as we discuss it here is GNU parted:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/

We have our own Python bindings for that under the name 'pyparted'.

Now, parted is a GNU project and it's common for people to refer to it as
'gparted', but that's wrong.  gparted is a completely separate project:

    http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

Lastly, with GPT in the mix, 'g' sounds like a good prefix on commands.  But
in this case it's a bad idea.

Remember:

    GNU parted == parted
    GNU parted != gparted
