Does it really have to be 158 lines to demonstrate these few issues?  I 
for one almost never take the time to dig through 158 lines of someone 
else's code, partly on the assumption that almost any interesting issue 
can be covered (using Python, specifically) in about a dozen lines of 
code.  YMMV
