Look at:

    def _correctFlags(self, flags):
        returnflags=[]
        if flags is None:
            return returnflags

        if type(flags) is not types.ListType:
            newflag = flags & 0xf
            returnflags.append(newflag)
        else:
            for flag in flags:
                newflag = flag
                if flag is not None:
                    newflag = flag & 0xf
                returnflags.append(newflag)
        return returnflags

and

                if flags != 0:
                    if flags == 2: arg = 'LT'
                    if flags == 4: arg = 'GT'
                    if flags == 8: arg = 'EQ'
                    if flags == 10: arg = 'LE'
                    if flags == 12: arg = 'GE'


in that code.

you convert the flag to dump out things that might be there that you don't need
then you check the flag number and the little if above is the mapping.
