Yes, exactly.

You'd call it something like nemeth.ctb (brltty uses the .ctb extension for 
contraction tables) and put it in /etc/brltty/. Ultimately, of course, we'd 
include the script as part of the brltty distribution.

You'd also have to ensure that Python flushes each output line right away after 
it's written.
