Creating the python extractor at all was sort of bizarre. The argument given was that it is too difficult for a developer to spin up a whole dev environment just to compile a tool, but the C extractor is a single C file that only depends on the C standard library and zlib.

This feels more like your mom likes to wash dishes by hand and you have a known good dishwasher that needs to be plugged in, but instead of plugging it in you build a new one that you tested a couple times and it seems to work but who knows? At least you saved yourself all the work of plugging in that other dishwasher?

Still a cool project to publish the source code, but the python port side quest seems pointless.
