Hi, Daniel.  As Karl points out (in a kind way), PyOrgMode is rather far
from "knowing every bit about the current syntax for Org files".  My
feeling is that this effort should be restarted afresh.

Well, I would prefer a Python-only solution, rather than requiring Emacs
and using it under the scene.
