[ome-devel] Calling the importer from Python

[Niko Ehrenfeuchter]

Hi again,

one more question regarding this: is there a way to create the CLI() 
object using an existing BlitzGateway connection?

I'm only asking since all the rest of my script is currently based on 
the conn object only, so it were very nice if I could simply re-use that.

Thanks
~Niko
