It was fun. Thanks for doing that. Did you guys have your own solution worked out?

My solution if anyone's interested: https://gist.github.com/davesque/5399178

I bet no one else used pyparsing (not that there's any reason to, really). :)

Yes, most of us also worked out solutions independently. Our solutions all follow the same 4-step pattern outlined in the post (your solution also follows this pattern).

Glad you enjoyed the challenge!
