    Using Swift libraries in Python

So... this is obviously totally, 100%, like for. real. not. supported. by. Apple.  …yet?
But still... I thought it was pretty badass. And, seeing how there's already a Swift buildpack for Heroku you could move some slow code into Swift can call it as a library function. But, you know, not in production or anything. That would be silly, right?
Now, having said that, the actual Python/Swift interop may have bugs. I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader.
How to get Python code calling Swift functions:

                The problem with CloudFlare's DNS "CNAME flattening" TTL
              
          
    [attaching this to a CloudFlare survey why I left them (for DNSimple)]
I was a free user using CloudFlare only for DNS, chiefly because it can simulate CNAME at an apex domain.
The apex domains mathdown.net,mathdown.com point to mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com.
Cloudflare "CNAME-flattening" nicely returns an A record;
unfortunately it's served with a huge TTL of 7 days(!), which causes a long outage when the underlying IP changes.
I asked support how I can lower the TTL (BTW it's great that you provide free support at all) and was told [https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/requests/522551, emphasis mine]:

This is based on the TTL of your authoritative provider for mathdown-cben.rhcloud.com:
