I'm developing a Python version of IBM's CMS Pipelines (see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartmann_pipeline).

You'd apply it to your problem thus:

import pipeline
result = pipeline.pipe('deblock 2', '00010203040506...')

Does this interest you? (The capabilities of Pipelines is MUCH bigger 
than this example!)
Would you like to be an alpha tester of this tool?
