I'd think that the periodic table would be excellently rendered using
classes. This would (I imagine) make it a relatively simple process to
write simple scripts that work with the elemental attributes in a manner
consistent with our scientific understanding of their natural behavior.

However, I haven't done it. I tend to write more Useless Python. 3;->
