I obviously agree, given that I wrote that I would try and draft
something.  Just haven't had much time yet.

That's certainly not a bad idea.  It's a wiki; feel free to run with it.

The problem with doing any of this now is that the python guidelines are
in significant flux and will hopefully emerge in a much cleaner state
with various convenience macros to handle the bulk of the heavy lifting.
