Yes, I implemented a heuristic approach for the Musi-Cal web server. I was
able to rely on domain knowledge to guess correctly almost all the time.
The heuristic was that almost all form submissions came from the US and the
rest which didn't came from Western Europe. Python could never embed such a
narrow-focused heuristic into its core distribution.
