aha despite this useful convention Boyd wants his to understand Python code
not C where such things are not so easily grepped for

unless you count grep ^(\t| )?def +that
as small :)

There's also the added bonus that includes in python come in two styles AND
don't include the filename extension

from filename import function
import filename

I did hanker myself after a python class/function browser but was too busy
writing the code to start writing the meta code!
