tblib in Action

Here’s a shot from the trackback section of a MovableType weblog I have running behind the firewall:

For the record, implementing these functions in Python was trivial.  The source for tblib is pretty darn short even with a bunch of comments.  I could compress it a bit, but I’d like to keep it as readable to the newbie as possible.  Perhaps grokking the source to tblib would be the next logical step for a newbie after reading my ftplib example.  After they read Dive Into Python, of course.
