Very nice! Now it looks like o.engines is a tuple of C functions even  
if it should not be (I imagine)

It is not really annoying to use object['attribute'] instead of  
object.attribute. I said that python syntax is obscure but I know  
that the problem come from me. I have to think different...

Thank for adding the clump wrapper. It works fine.
