Thanks Will.
Ive converted your code to python (attached).
I find it works in org 8 but not in 6.33 -- the default for emacs on debian.
Is it easy to make it work for earlier org also??

Reason: This question was asked on the python list: thread starting
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-July/653164.html
And so it would be good to have an example that works mostly out of the box
