I never received your email.

1.6 is not compatible with 1.4.  Where did you get python-parted for
libparted 1.6?

The names of the PedDisk constructor changed, to reflect changes in the
semantics.

I'm quite busy right now, so I'll give you some suggestions :)

So, to begin... could you stick a ped_disk_print((PedDisk*)o->obj)
call in the above function?

BTW, there are two python-parted ports.  I personally like the other
one better (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]), so you might want to take a look at that
also.  I don't think it's been ported to 1.6 though.
