I have thought about soooo many things I could do, but the problem is
- as usual - time I can devote to this project. ;) Anyways: I'll
welcome any contribution, so if you'll happen to have some time to do
it, I'll surely include it.

FYI check out libsigrok - it generates python bindings from C++ using
swig - maybe this would be a good approach to decrease the amount of
work needed.

Yep, certainly agree. This is definitely a feature I'd like to have in
the future.
