You're right that that information is not currently available to Python.
The main issue to making it available is mapping all the various C++ / C
data structures into Python.

For specific things, you could certainly extend the Python interceptors
to take an additional dictionary of information, or something similar.
If you do come up with such a patch, you should add an extra optional
argument to addServerReceiveRequest() to indicate that the function it
is given accepts the extra parameter. Otherwise, any change to the
expected function signature will break all existing code.

Cheers,

Duncan.
