Already gone through the code here with no luck.Help help will not help since they do not support python.

What about using the Java API + jython: http://www.wilmott.com/messageview.cfm? ... adid=77504 and following on from the API guide for Java?You could also encapsulate the API calling functionality in a C wrapper for Python and communicate with the API via said wrapper?
