[PySide] Proposal for "Visual tool to fast edit type system files" -- a Pyside idea

Agree. So a plan in a sentence should be improving APIExtractor lib
first which can help generate the Python bindings as what I want , and
write such command tool using these bindings second.

Thank you very much!

I also hope so.
