Fantastic!

I told my wife (who's been having to put up with my frustrations) that I
would not be drawn back into this. But I think you've succeeded in tempting
me. I'm going to take a day or two off anyway, but early next week I'll
give it a try.

I'll try to be very clear (in private e-mails) about any difficulties,
since it's obvious that you've put in a lot of effort and it sure sounds
like I'm exactly the kind of person you had in mind, so presumably you'd
want to know about anything that still seems to be a hurdle.

PS And yes, I was indeed trying to build a python plasmoid.
