Sometimes I wonder about this "apparently self-evident truth".

Python makes certain kinds of tasks *SO* deucedly easy (this
doesn't necessarily apply to the specific one being discussed
here -- this is just a generic musing!-), that the temptation
IS serious to just recode it and be done, rather than start
looking for an already-almost-there solution out on the web.

Which may be why we end up with so *MANY* modules solving the
same (easy and not-so-easy) problems...:-).
