I agree. I am not a Pythonista but I can feel the technology gathering
critical mass. We do the same sort of thing in out chemistry tools - import
calls parse. But you have to expect poeple to submit all sorts of
mislabelled stuff and non-standard stuff so the error trapping and
reporting has to be clear.

We often grow by aggregating functionality in an opportunistic manner.
