Rewrite

[initstring]

This is a work-in-progress rewrite of the codebase. The intent is to move to something that is easier to collaborate on, has less code duplication, uses proper unit tests, is packaged for distribution on PyPi, etc.

I may never finish this, who knows. Life is unpredictable. :)

If you happen to see this and notice I am doing something really poorly, please do let me know.

Thanks!
