Already did it, as stated in my other post. If you are hacking around on your friend's websites it might be "a few lines", but a production script that must either succeed or tell you why not in useful terms takes hundreds of lines.
But then I doubt that people who can't think beyond their personal system hosting their friends websites really grasp the goals I am trying to meet anyway. And no, you can't code it in Python without wrapping the python script execution in a language that handles exceptions in a useful manner. I'm not a language bigot (kindof hard these days, I work in 5 different languages daily) but if a language doesn't have the ability to do something then you must write wrappers around it.
