Ok, I'll check again.

Ok, but I would rather spend that time in the libgnokii python
bindings... at least exposing the file operations API.

That because I suppose that libgnokii supports what I'm trying to do
internally... does it? I'm recursing the phone filesystem from certain
path, or at least, giving some metadata let me know if the file is a
regular file or a directory.

And how does Obex help here?
Could you give me some hints? Is it a protocol I can use to traverse
the filesystem in the phone?

I'll look into that. I'm definitely NOT willing to lead a "formal"
development, mainly because I have no experience in
python-to-some-c-library bindings. But I can try to do something, at
least exposing a partial API. And maybe others will follow...
