Alex,

Thank you for this work. On a related note, I'm the author of  
pycheckmate (what runs when you syntax-check a python script from the  
Python bundle). Is this impacted by the script runner changes?  
(Sorry, just haven't had a chance to look...). I guess I'm asking if  
I should try to make some time available to update pycheckmate to  
work with the new script runner framework.

Thanks,

j.
