Actually i fetch from an application that i thought it should act like
this and as I told you, the program is ready to be shipped so
rewriting an entire class that has public methods would be a real
pain. I really had to find a way to work this out by using the
python's parser instead of external libraries. But thanks anyway for
the clue, I might start working on a similar project next and this
library may be a good and a less painful path. Thanks :D
