Thanks, the rewrite is great! I have one nit: did you consider which of these two idioms is better? if __name__ == "__main__": main() vs. if __name__ == "__main__": sys.exit(main()) Your docs seem to promote the second, whereas I've usually preferred the former. Was this a considered choice on your part?
