It's currently sitting at home, not publicly available. I could put it online, but I doubt anyone would really be interested in it on it's own (they could probably write something in the time it takes to actually find it).

Of course your code is always welcome at Useless Python (which I just
gave Yet Another face-lift, including quotes from some of you). I
encourage people to send material to Useless, the Vaults, the Cookbook,
and anywhere else you care to. Although many of us look at CPAN with
just a hint of envy, I like the fact that Useless, the Vaults, and the
Cookbook are actually quite different from each other.

After all, There's More Than One Way To Do It! (Oh, wait.... That's Perl
again.)
