Please understand that the comments were for my own use, this was never intended to see the light of day (as it were). Also, the structure grew from a situation where I only had to worry about a single controller model - single relay model to one where I had to be able to deal with two controllers and two relay models. This was all python 2.7 of course. ........................cut on dotted line..........................
