Having in mind a fresh new user's perspective, I wonder if *doCommandByName*,
*the method with the most intuitive name to use for such a task to perform*,

passed to it?
...I'm not familiar with those 'events' concepts in python so I'm curious
about Edwards thought on this matter.
Hoping it can be changed easily ! :)
