Hi Valerio,

There are no Python interfaces for DT because it is all experimental code.
We have not yet agreed that this is
the correct way to do things, so its all my own C experimentation. I could
help you understand it to make Python
interfaces if you wanted to.

  Thanks,

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
