This might be a silly question, but how would I use Abe functions in my own Python programs. The web interface is nice and all, but it is slow. And the command line --query statements aren't exactly fast either. I'm thinking if I could call a function directly from within my own Python code, instead of parsing web API output, what I'm writing could be so much more efficient and speedy.

For example, if I wanted to get the balance of an address, it would be nice to be able to directly call the function in Abe that calculates the balance.

Does that make sense?

Yes, check out these programs in the source tree for example code, possibly out of date:

Abe/admin.py
Abe/reconfigure.py
Abe/verify.py
Abe/mixup.py
tools/namecoin_dump.py
contrib/ecdsa.py
