Every tool has a use!  Offhand it occurs to me this might a simple, well organized structure for a cgi environment, though I wonder if the extra level of processing might make it a little slow.  Ought to be other uses too...

I _do_ think the <pj> tags and the title "PajamaScript" is brilliant marketing.  Highest kudos!

["PajamaScript" beats "PyTxtParse2ModuleExecEnviron.py" !]

Any functioning examples of its use?
