IMO, pymate could use some reworking.  It would be nice to bring it up 
to using Soryu's nice css, and putting some hyperlinks in tracebacks to 
the lines with errors, etc.  I am unfortunately not very interested in 
working on it any time in the near future (like the next couple of 
months at least), but it might be valuable to have a discussion on this 
list about the best way to architect a new pymate, and maybe a more 
general framework for these script runner commands, which are useful in 
many many languages.
