All tests passed!
Total time for all tests: 10.5 seconds

But you are right. There are 125k sequences in the OEIS, growing with a rate
of ten to twenty a day, not all very interesting, but anyway.
When sloane_functions.py grows with 10 sequences a day we will never catch up!
You can cut down on doctesting, not on examples because of the educational 
impact.
Users of the OEIS are probably occasional SAGE users, so examples and code
inspection are important features.

For the moment I think it is best to concentrate on sequences with the keywords
'core' and 'nice' (or 'hard'!).

One sequence per file? There are groups of sequences built around a theme 
(recurrence, etc.),
or depending on some other sequence. Will it be possible to group sequence

This seems a good idea. For a sequence not implemented yet, switch to the
Internet or the database to give some information: name, numbers and a link
to the OEIS.
