Yes, what I wrote was "Presumably because the author is comfortable with python and it is easy to do string manipulation with."

I'm still not sure why this got you so involved.

It is not that specific comment that got me involved.

As I have said a couple of times, it is fair enough that he is comfortable with Python or that he decided to use it for whatever reasons.

At any rate, I cannot come back to this thread anymore. :P

That's a shame, this thread has been fascinating.
