Apparently it's only mentioned here<http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/plugins.html#at-view-py>- perhaps it should be added to the more general pages, perhaps here<http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/directives.html#part-1-file-directives>? If that's no good, then I'll try @shadow (which I've been using without any apparent trouble) with the read-only plugin. . .
