Thanks. It was 30 second job to pythonize it :-)
This thread is getting rather non-plasma so maybe it should be moved to kde-
devel?
Well, anyways. I wanted to use the flags for my Google Translator Plasmoid and 
couldn't figure out why only some of the flags showed up in the ComboBox. It 
turned out that Google are using slightly different country codes than KDE uses 
in l10n. Eg. Danish is "da" in Google Translate but dk in KDE. Isn't there 
some kind of ISO standard or whatever for country codes?
