I don't think they are wrapped due to limitations in the Python
wrapping, and the pattern we wanted to use for scalable storage of
molecular data. I think we could get them wrapped, or add some simpler
API for the Python/wrapped languages.

I don't think this is something we tested, or looked at very deeply.
Much of the code was developed in quite a short period as part of a
Google Summer of Code project, it would be nice to extend it to better
support Python.
