OK. F2py generated interfaces sounds like it is a good idea.

All very good things.

I think this is doable.  I continue to spend all my available
programming time on weave.  However, the end is in sight for this --
perhaps 2 more nights of work.  After that, I will focus on the release.

We are dang close to having a usable bug tracker (Round-Up) running.  It
actually works now, but we have a few kinks to work out before we turn
everyone loose on it.  Hopefully it will be up by Thursday and we can
use it to manage the release process in a semi-organized way.
