Yes, different intended levels of support. I don't currently have the 
bandwidth to promise support for the miscellaneous Python scripts in 
./scripts, but I do promise to support to a higher level the code in 
./python.

Over time, I intend to migrate things into ./python, but there are some 
series that need to happen first before I start doing that.
