It's kind of depressing seeing all the other libraries out there, some
of them with awesome-looking 3D graphics! Still, I'll see what I can do.

Will do.

Thanks for the reference (<http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>,
for whoever wanted the direct link). That was educational reading. I can
endorse most of that, but I plan to rebel against one rule, because:
	chainsaw.PullCord("RRRRAR!")
looks much nicer to me than:
	chainsaw.pull_cord("RRRRAR!")
especially since I use lowercase_with_underscores for variable names.
