Maybe we don't need to add this to Python.. I am fine with requiring 
PyObjC.  PyObjC gives us a nice little FFI for anything that's in a 
bundle, so this can be done in pure python:

Here's an example of (ab)using the FFI to call into the CPS SPI:

[I have only tested this with Tiger DP.. someone else will have to 
confirm that it works on 10.3 and/or 10.2]
