Awesome! Could you please do me three more favors?

1.) Use git commit and send us the result of git format-patch. This way you 
will be properly credited as the author of the change.

2.) You have added the same code to 3 (or 4... I don't want to count) places, 
I think this warrants to create a new python helper function (feel free to ask 
me how to do it) to have some code sharing.

3.) Once you have factored out the code into a method that returns True/False 
depending on if you filter it or not... You can directly return on the first 
match instead of doing the regexp on every other dependency as well.


thanks a lot!
