RFE: provide service status querying

[TurboTurtle]

Are there any plans for this project to support querying service status from systemd? Or for that matter, controlling services via start/stop/restart requests (provided permissions are sufficient of course)?

For example, I'd like to be able to do something like the following:

from systemd import Service

svc = Service('my-cool-service')
status = svc.status()  # similar content to running 'systemctl status my-cool-service'
if svc.is_active():
    ... do stuff...
else:
    svc.start()

For that, use https://github.com/facebookincubator/pystemd instead.
