The python code is a bit cryptic ;-)

There are no examples and no comments, so it is difficult to understand, 
but it would seem that whilst you use a 'name' to create a GPO, you must 
use the GUID to delete it. How does Windows do this ?

I would too, but I didn't write the code ;-)

The code could probably be altered to use the name, but at the moment it 
only works with the GUID.

I would agree, try upgrading and if it is still giving problems, it will 
need fixing.
