[OpenAFS-devel] library linking vs command output parsing

I'm thinking of writing something similar to AFS commander on Mac OS X,
but for Linux on the Nokia N800 series tables. The two major language
choices for the platform are C and python. I'm thinking that python will
let me get things done more quickly even though I don't know it vs my
novice level of C.
My question is this: What are the pros and cons of writing code that
links to the AFS & kerberos libraries to do things like getting
tickets/tokens versus just running klist and capturing the input & output?
Sincerely,
Jason
