Here attached the pure python version of pymgmt. It can be used to replace 
$LIB/heartbeat-gui/pymgmt.py directly without affecting anyone else. :)  With 
this pymgmt.py, _pymgmt.so is deprecated and can be deleted.

Also, as pure python code, this version can be easily adapted to support 
Andrew's remote-cib w/o involve any recompiling things :)
