[bf1942] Getting Responses From PB in Python

[turkee]

I hope so - that would please me greatly. We run multiple servers all
from the one pbbans.dat file and it's quite frustrating not being able
to retrieve a user's partial GUID from RCON (ie. Without entering the
game itself).

Forrest: BFV has the same problem as BF2 as far as PB responses go,
yeah, though BF42 has no trouble retrieving PB responses. I'm not sure
if this was added in a patch sometime prior to 1.45, I wasn't really on
the scene then.

Regards

Marshall Joyce
