While I am one of the instigators asking for the Python versions, I
agree with you though :). It seems to me as if the Python and C++
interfaces should work the same as far as possible. This is
particularly important given that a lot of the documentation only
covers the C++ versions, so that should lead to the least surprise for
Python users.
