python getting upload/download speeds

Vote count:

I want to monitor on my computer the upload and download speeds. A program called conky already does it with the following in conky conf:

Connection quality: $alignr ${wireless_link_qual_perc wlan0}%
${downspeedgraph wlan0}
DLS:${downspeed wlan0} kb/s $alignr total: ${totaldown wlan0}

and it shows me the speeds in almost real time while I browse. I want to be able to access the same information using python.
