Lovely, lovely. I just wrote a bit of that same play in perl a few days ago. 
I'll spare you all the agony or seeing perl code, and let you know that a 
Rose by any other name does in fact smell just as sweet. Of course, in 
python, a rose by any other name may in fact be the same rose...

Has anyone thought of moving over to FSF's free version of Sourceforge - 
http://savannah.gnu.org/? At least we won't have to worry about 
a-certain-company-that-used-to-have-linux-in-its-name doing something 
nasty...

But using Sourceforge (or a savannah) will be really nice because the admins 
(Like Jim or Phil) could *assign* someone to keep the latest releases on the 
site whenever they come up with a new version. Also, the cvs and bug tracking 
facilities, not to mention the email list archiving is useful as well. It'll 
leave Phil and Jim more hackin' time, and let us who aren't as wizardly do 
something useful.
