exactly the right place. I'm a little skeptical myself that porting that
particular piece of code from OCaml to Python is going to be a really big

performance may take a hit due to yet another interpreter needing to load),
but I'll let others weigh in on whether I'm making too big a deal about
that.
Getting it off Ocaml is an excellent first step. I have tried and
failed to get texvc working properly in MediaWiki myself more than a
few times, because of Ocaml not wanting to play nice ...
