Interesting. Out of curiosity, what made you (or whoever wrote it)
choose Python as the scripting language? Obviously, I don't think this
is a bad choice, but I'm wondering what Python has that more familiar
languages (to you or Tony or whoever else) don't have. Or is the
author of that script really most comfortable with Python after all?
