on; this is sometimes a pain in the butt.
Eric: teaching ones grandmother to suck eggs is rather extreme;
my reference to lex and yacc had more to do with the fact you aren't
as familiar with the mores and society of the kernel group as you could
be; if you were you would have known what a storm of protest the use
of python would have raised, which using lex and yacc would have
avoided almost altogether.
