Yes.

More or less, yes.

IMHO, not really.

However, I still have further improvements to do about the graphs, and
one of them was to add a new 'colour' to rootfs items.

Because this is not pythonic!

Seriously, yes, the main reason is to write python scripts in the most
pythonic way I can, for two reasons:

 1- I try to use the idioms and best practices of the language I write
    in, so that those that come later and are pofficient in the language
    can maintain it without having to cleanup before;

 2- I learn python along the way...

So yes, this looks very more pythonic than the if-else-blocs which look
much more like C or shell...

And it takes 6 lines instead of 4! ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
