While the reality almost always is: not documented, not tested, badly written glue for some libraries doing the real job. I'd love to see here really well designed, documented, and implemented projects doing complicated stuff in simple way.

You should look at the code before commenting (clearly, you did not). You might actually like this one.

Weirdly this one does have tests, but they're in the execution section?

It's supposed to be self-contained which is why the tests are inside __main__. If I have the time I'll add a --selftest argument or so
