Dan,

No, that bit of Python API isn't done yet. There's a bit of a question
of what we should do there too? Presumably the API would have the user
set a chunk size and then return an iterator. The API to follow would be
the PipelineKernel.cpp implementation, but apply it to the Python/Cython
extension stuff.

I'd be happy to merge a patch that did this.
