Grrr. You didn't answer any of my questions. (Except the one
about Python, for which you said you didn't know.) Or maybe
your response is meant to be an answer to one or more of
them, only I can't tell which or how.

I'm having a hard time following you. Also, you seem to be
shifting what you're talking about quite frequently, which
makes me suspicious.

At this stage I've entirely lost track of the thread. Ah, well.
