I am not volunteering, just attaching a "translation" of TenEllip.tcl to 
TenEllip.py.

Comments welcome. If is is ok I will try to find time to do one or two such 
translations a week. In Examples there are 103 .tcl files and in 
*/Testing/Tcl I counted 346. If there are no more files it means that I will 
have the job done in 4 to 8 years ;-)

See you then!
