Thanks for working on this!

I started on common_subject and worked up, so the 'why' might be in the later comments. All my comments are along the lines of "This old part of spyglass doesn't do this python thing that I think we'd be better off if we did". What you've got so far looks like it would work perfectly well, but I'm cutting down lines of code in my suggestions

@calderast what is the status of this PR? is it mostly good to go (aside from the change requested above) or are you still working on things?

[CBroz1]

@edeno - The use of def func(a, config={}) bare dictionary as default has the potential to cause issues if run multiple times. It risks data being assigned to this anonymous dict, and inherited the next run.

I recommend reverting and using

def func(a, config=None):
    config = config or dict()

We can just put in a quick PR to fix.
