Frank,
thanks for your reply.

As you suggested, I created 3 tickets:
 - #3587: Set and Get methods missing in Python bindings
 - #3588: a ticket to keep track of changeset
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/19741 for missing flushes. I suppose it
can be considered closed.
 - #3589: SetDescription method should be overridden in VRTRasterBand

Best regards
Luca
