[vbox-dev] Concurrent Remote Python Sessions

[Robert Ramsay]

Hi Nikolay,

That did the trick! Thank you again for your quick and direct support.
I'll be sure to include a code snippet with my next VirtualBox issue.

Is the VirtualBox Web Console project being accepting patches? I'd be
glad to help out withsome of those to-do comments.
