Sorry for the silence, I was heads down on another issue at work.  I had tried to pull Yang's work down to my machine and had trouble getting it to run under my configuration but I think I had a mixed environment.  I'm going to reset everything on my machine and try again.  Since I'm not a python developer and I won't be able to devote the overall time that Yang will, I'm deferring the changeset to Yang's code. I posted the code so that the work that I had done would be visible, I didn't mean to cause the cross-talk! > > The outcome of discussion between Ben and I were that it made the most > sense to use my set as the base to rebuild his quality-of-life > changes.
