yep.

Teams;  these permissions "rw" for teams 970990 & 11530 are set on all
imported values.  Obviously that would be different or unnecessary
depending on the site.  They can be objectIds of accounts or teams.

Yep.

Just to pause the load;  on a production server we always pause the load
so the load process doesn't consume an entire instance.  This keeps the
request queue from getting so deep that interactive user applications
notice a slow down.   Modern workstations can fire requests at a server
at a pretty amazing rate,  even from a scripting language like Python.

Sure, any language that supports XML-RPC (Java, Jython, C#, C, Perl,
PHP, etc...)

Probably not.

There are examples for Python, PHP, and Jython.
