While this was quite interesting, I stopped the expedition after looking through the existing C++ command targets to see how many candidates there would be - turns out there are not many of them that are pure algorithm. Most are private class methods which are making heavy use of private members, which would be unreachable by Python. Most of the brush and patch algorithms are very hard to port to Python as well. So I decided to shelf this approach, maybe the knowledge that it's possible in principle will be useful later.
