That's done and I'm postponing the merge until I've trawled through
the rest.  There are a couple of scripts I'll have to remove
temporarily and they're Igor's massive GUI ones.  Porting and fixing
them properly will actually take more work than porting the entire
module did, go figure.  Plus it doesn't help that he relied on a gtk
module which isn't in PyPI and I've no idea where it came from or if
there's more than one or whatever.

Obviously those scripts will remain in Martin's python 2 incarnation
(and thus on PyPI), as they will continue to exist on the github repo
I used between the fork from Martin's work (on bitbucket) and bringing
it over here.  Which is another way of saying; nothing is lost, but
some of it needs to be diverted for a time.

Yeah, makes sense and I can cope with pushing back the "it's ready for
people to try to break it" date for a little while.  Though there will
still be silly errors popping up which will need to be ignored.
Things like complaining of "missing whitespace around operator" in
reST files because the "=" sign or the "-" sign are used for headings.

Anyway, I've got a slight distraction at the moment (i.e. PPAU work;
gotta get stuck into developing a DV policy and that is rather
important), but this work will be able to fall back into place around
that within a week or so and continue from there.

Ben
