So I am just now looking at the script and seeking to understand it, but
one thing has jumped at me that I wanted to toss out there...

We don't at this point have a formal coding standard for Python code,
but I do think that we should, to the extent possible, stick to the
rules that have been established for C code. One thing I would really
like to see is in the comment style; our rules want:
/*
* ...C comments spread out with the markers on separate lines
* like this...
*/
so can we do something similar for Python?
#
# Markers above and below
#
I will confess that this matches my personal subject preference, but it
also brings us closer to what our C code looks like.
(I don't know that I would push to redo everything to match that style,
but instead to move that way going forward).
Thanks,
jon
