Hmm. Thanks. I'll have to check that out. I haven't done anything with folds
in ages.

Fortunately, I don't have to do anything with python right now though. The
main reason that I used it before was so that I could have cross-platform
scripts at a previous job when I couldn't use D (if it were for use by more
than just me, I couldn't use D, because no one else in my group was doing
anything with D and it wasn't part of our build system) - that and even if I
had to write something Windows-specific, writing it in Python was worlds
better than writing it in batch.

Right now, I'm able to use D for work, so I'm much more likely to just write
scripts in D.
