Good advice.  This is what happens, though, when people with no business
programming try to solve common problems.  They reinvent the wheel, shape it
like a square, weld two tons of steel to it, and argue that, "Hey, it works."

So with this method, do you have direct access via python to methods and
functions?  That sure would be useful.  I think I'll need to figure this out
for my soon-to-be-job anyway.

Point taken.  Thanks for straightening me out on the subject.
