I'm actually trying to focus on applications and not get into the 
plumbing too much. (And, uh, I don't speak Python.) But it's nice to 
know the source is out there to muck with if I have to :)

However, it sounds like I can get similar functionality using a topic 
that stores its events persistently. Especially since topics chain 
together: could I create a persistent "mailbox" topic that, then route 
the topics I want to receive into that, and then connect my client to 
the mailbox periodically and slurp up the new events?

Thanks for the examples of retrieving events — is there a way a client 
on reconnect can say "send me all the events since #_____, which is the 
last one I have"?
