Coded and in the SF tracker.

      I just encountered another problem. For the direction to cast the

Sorry for posting this issue so hastily. I found the solution and it 
also required added python bindings. These additions to the bindings are 
on the SF tracker with the others here:
     
     http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1205421&group_id=13833&atid=313833
     
     

I would appreciate it if somebody who knows that area of the code 
reviews it and if it's good, then commit it.

       Thanks,
