Thanks, I'll have a look. The memory hit seemed to come from using the
view() code, and in any case wasn't my main plan for real use. The rest of
your changes are useful too for cleanup, as what I'd posted is just one-off
prototyping. Since I have little Python experience though, style pointers
are a Good Thing.
