That's what I think I meant,... yeah! IOW, convert the script to a library module, with a main() and leave a little driver in the Tools/scripts directory.

So in terms of `trace.py', it is a widely useful tool and already has a programmatic interface. Being added to the hallowed Python Standard Library would be a major step up in publicity and hence usage. It would require better docs regarding the programmatic usage.

Anything else that would be required for trace to make this transition?
