Nancy update

[Reuben Thomas <rrt@...>]

I just updated my little web-site templater, Nancy:

http://rrt.sc3d.org/Software/Nancy/

by simplifying a regex slightly. I also thought it might be interesting 
to pass on a couple of recent observations. The first was that a 
Python-loving friend sent me a Python version. He did a pretty direct 
translation, and it ended up almost exactly the same length, pretty 
natural Python (from what I understand), and without obvious verbosity.

On the other hand, I realised that when I claimed a length of 64 lines, 
I was being dishonest, as I relied on my "standard" Lua libraries

http://luaforge.net/projects/stdlib/

However, I regard this as really a demonstration of how good the 
libraries already are: without them, the program would have been longer 
and harder to read, and they are much smaller and simpler than the 
equivalent Python libraries.

[With apologies, anyone wanting me to read replies should Cc me 
personally, as I'm not currently reading the list.]
