Ping!
I'd like to see if I can get this work moved forward.
I'd probably just push this work on the grounds we could back it out if
anyone complains after the fact ... except for patch #3, which extends
the Python API, and I'd prefer at least a little review before I merge
this, even if it was just reading the documentation to check the new API
makes sense.
All thoughts welcome,
Thanks,
Andrew
