John,
One small note - we've been bitten in the past by doing:
x != 0
This assumes a numeric (int/float) quantity. If someone substitutes
a different type that looks like a number, this will most likely
fail. Python has a __nonzero__ method which can be used by calling
'not' or 'bool()':
not x == ! bool( x )
All the numeric types implement this correctly (i.e. like a test for
x == 0). Of course, I haven't been following this conversion so I'm
not sure this applies here...
