Fantastic! Thanks! I can upload my work-to-date as soon as there's a place
for it.
I must admit, I don't usually do Python (I could never get over the indent

Hopefully you'll find that it's not as bad as you thought; I did. I'd still
much rather use Perl, though. In fact, working on porting the TT has made
me pine for all of the nifty Perl features I'd learned to get along without,
like first-class anonymous subroutines, integrated regexen, list context for
subroutines, and getting a convenient "undef" when something is missing
rather than having an exception thrown in my face.
Oh, and autovivification. Sweet, sweet autovivification. How I've missed
that!
