  I don't know - its kinda neat to be able to do roles that way,
 but the hook scripts that exist are all in shell, so I'm not
 sure if there is a whole lot of point in having the mixture.

  (Partly because I know shell/perl and not python.)

  I guess that is such a small optimisation that it would make almost
 zero difference - given the high number of shell scripts/steps already
 involved.

  If you post it to the list, or better yet place it online and share
 a link to it I'd be happy to take a look.  I guess unless, or until,
 somebody publically users it then it won't be used.

  (I'm not 100% sure what problem you're trying to solve ..?)
