Well the ob3 development has taken another turn and python will no longer be as central as it was in CVS for a while. Personally, I liked the way things were going, so I swiped the last python-based code from the ob3 cvs and imported it into my Subversion repository. If anyone wants the code, let me know and perhaps I'll toss a snapshot up here.
I have put no time into the code, so it is still basically a cvs snapshot of the dead branch of ob3.
