The first is the original perl version of the script, and the second is
my attempt at rewriting it in python.

For the most part the rewrite is successful.  I had some issues with
utf-8 encoding but I think I've squared that away.  Now the only
remaining problem is that the template toolkit library bindings for
python don't seem to be packaged for ubuntu.  But I guess that's a
packaging issue and no reason to keep the perl variant of the script
around.

I just need to complete transitioning a few of the reports from using
the perl script to the python script.  The command line syntax has
changed but I don't think this is a big deal.  I've added a task to do
this to my todo list and will try to get to it when I have a spare
cycle.
