I appreciate the advice guys, but it's not my business really. I don't 
manage the site, and although it /would/ be making things easier for me 
in the long run were updates required on a regular basis, I stand by not 
improving products without being specifically called on and paid to do 
so - sound like stingyness but not doing so devalues the trade in my 
opinion.

Besides this is a legacy site which is dead to all intents and purposes.

Believe me, I didn't design this thing, I am a firm believer in the use 
of python to build modular sites out of components. But this thing is, 
as I say, not my responsibility.
