I see, thanks for these explanations! I withdraw my claims.

I'd suggest that you first get it to work locally - preferably still
without changing the Python code proper. You might find that things
you want to do cannot be achieved, so actual code changes would be
needed.

When you have a basically-working infrastructure, feel free to
contribute.

Good! It may be that some people here are more familiar with Farsi,
Arabic, or Hebrew than I am - but don't expect too much help on RTL
issues. When it comes to Python problems, don't hesitate to ask for
advise and help.
