Thanks for the suggestion on migrating to Python, Brian. I've added it as a priority to the Swift Linux Launchpad page. My first migration targets will be new features not already implemented with GNU Bash. Over time, I will gradually convert parts of my source code to Python, though more urgent priorities will take precedence. I am glad that I no longer have everything crammed into one repository. My new arrangement lends itself to graduate migration while the previous arrangements do not. (Believe it or not, I had the whole process of transforming antiX Linux into Swift Linux crammed into one long script in the early days. Of course, that was before I had any understanding of the essence of good software development.)
