Hey, any Python experts want to help a Python newbie out? I've been hacking for decades, but I can't say I know Python best practices.

I'm working on https://github.com/Ovid/sqlitch-v2 (porting some Perl code to Python) and while it seems good to me (but very much alpha and a WIP), I don't know what I don't know. If there's anything obvious I've missed or is unpythonic, I would love to know.

@ovid But… why? Is this to improve adoption by Perl-adverse shops? I use the dockerized version for several projects and no one bats an eye.

@cromedome Not happy about this, but:

* The company bans Perl in its tech stack.
* If they switch away from their currently broken tooling, they want something they can maintain and extend.
* I'm working with 200+ devs, many of them newer, and they don't want to use CLI tools. It's trivial for me to extend this new tool with a GUI.

I'm not saying these are great reasons, but that's the pushback.

@ovid “Don’t want to use CLI tools”? Eww. But the GUI would still be a nice addition.
