Although it should not be difficult to replace threading with forking (and I
agree that Perl threading is generally to be avoided), I think I would rather
just rewrite it cleanly in Python. Among other things it will simplify argument
parsing and subprocess invocation via standard library functions.
This would be in Python 3 but I could try to restrict it to be compatible with
Python 2 if necessary.
Would that be better than patching/porting the current Perl version? If so then
I will put it on my todo list, but I am unlikely to have any time in the coming
weeks to work on it.
A working version in any language would be great. A better version in
Python would be nice, too, but it's the working part that's important.
Incidentally, when looking at the code now I noticed that there were some SVN
options missing. I have added those in today's release.
