Ok. I just thought that because I have separate arguments in my prog, and you do too in yours, why not, but if it is an ache, no matter.
BTW, a true python way could be something like: scrap the ECI.command(), ECI.command_float_arg() and add:
ECI.apply(command, [args, [keywords]])
where 'args' is a sequence (a tuple), and 'keywords' a dictionary. (both optional)
See built-in apply:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/built-in-funcs.html
But anyway, this is in no means necessary.
