Accessing custom pad shapes from Python

Hi,
I am trying to access the representation of custom pads using Python scripting.
I would need something like the list of segment vertices, or the primitives or whatever.
But I am stuck after (pad contains a PAD that is valid): pad.GetCustomShapeAsPolygon(). I don’t seem to be able to find a method that lets me access the data it contains (for example CIterate does not seem to give any leverage).
Does anyone have a clue?

          polygon_set = pad.GetCustomShapeAsPolygon()
          if polygon_set.HasHoles():
              self.logger.warn('Detected holes in custom pad polygons')
          pad_dict["polygons"] = self.parse_poly_set(polygon_set)

Lookup parse_poly_set() from there
