harris.py

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha steko,

Very helpful.  Thanks!

It looks like pyArchInit isn't actively developed? This site,
https://sites.google.com/site/pyarchinit/documentazione, indicates that
the available documentation was out of date 836 days ago (if I'm reading
it correctly).

All the best,
Tom
