Hang in there, Dan!  I did the first Python port to the KSR-1 on my own time
too, despite working for the visionless bastards at the time.  The rest is
history:  the glory, the fame, the riches, the groupies, the adulation of my
peers.  We won't mention the financial scandal and subsequent bankruptcy
lest it discourage you for no good reason <wink>.

BTW, "do the simplest thing that can possibly work"!  It's OK if it's a
little ugly.  Better that than force hundreds of Python-builders to get
divorced from a decade-old directory naming scheme.
