That's ok, I think what I layout below will work (using python introspection 
and maybe a little hand tweaking)

The API we are using provides a place that is perfect just for this. :)  

Thanks for the help, I think I have enough that I can start moving forward.  

And yes, I realize this makes for a bizarre sounding solution.  I can't really 
go into why I think this is a good thing to do right now.  But it meets our 
needs very well.
