WOOHOO!
After nearly six months of things not working they way that they were supposed to, and me being TOTALLY CLUELESS as to why that was, I finally figured out the issues that were holding UselessPython back, and with their subsequent correction, UP is back on the map!
Over 200 downloads already, and it’s only been back up a day. Feels good. 
Count to 31 on One Hand you say? THE DICKENS, you say.
Well click the link, you old-tyme speaker you, and take note of the brave new world.
