The problem was a membership database, which as inherited was an Excel
spreadsheet with one sheet per year, and many issues of consistency and
form.

My first thought was Ada, but I totally failed at the "simple" task of
reading/writing a CSV file; looking at SQLite interfacing, producing a
GUI, sending mail, and the thought that someone else might well inherit
it from me, I decided that Python was the best compromise.

~3000 lines (including blanks).
