I am very happy that you found my comments useful. Let me just emphasize again: Your work is valuable too! E.g. your choice of using python is not inherently a bad choice, I just happen to have grown up at a time where perl were more popular, so I am more familiar with that. So please do feel free to have opinions, also when they contradict with mine. What I meant to say about concerns over python is that if I were to maintain the code *myself* then I would rewrite it - but I do hope that I am no longer alone: That you would want to get on board and maintain the hx package with me. Feel free to ask questions about packaging. There are many ways to do it, and many ways to get confused. I am involved in a bunch of packages, and I might be able to point to other packages implementing tricks or twists that are relevant here. But again, I want to *suggest* ways to do things, not dictate them - I have opinions, and I am interested in learning about your opinions too :-) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
