Thanks Carl. I don't have a nice package, but the repo is:

 https://github.com/reagle/thunderdell/

The dependencies should be easy, `fe.py` imports web_little, which will
require requests. Everything else should be stdlib.

Below I show how to grab the realistic input and run fe.py on it
yielding a 1.6MB YAML file.
