I was trying to completely rewrite Patchy.  Graham's implementation
seemed too complicated to me.

Please do.  There's a readme and a file with detailed specifications
for some procedures (algorithms written in pseudocode, step by step).
I failed exactly at translating these algorithms to a nicely written
Python code handling logs, exceptions etc.  Yes, it's that stupid.  I
wrote down /how/ things should work, but failed at writing code.
If you find contents of SPECIFICATIONS file useful, that's what i can
do quite effectively.

Or maybe i'm completely wrong and all of this is useless; i'm too upset to tell.
