There is a resize function but it is not convertible
at this point.  I can make a convertible version but
I didn't like how it worked out, been experimenting

can be used for modeling and testing at this point.

If you use:

     >> python setup.py develop

The snapshot (repo) will be used and you will not
need to do subsequent `setup.py installs` after
updates.

I will walk through the above example, initial
conversion, the operation etc. but I will need
wait till later today.
