Hi @timsaucer , if you could please take a pass on this PR , that would be great, thanks!

[timsaucer]

This is great. We had someone open a related issue #1103 and it would be fantastic if we could address both of them at once. Do you think you could enhance this PR to handle python based catalogs and schemas as well? It is something I was planning to work on but I've been hard at work trying to get metadata handling in the upstream repo. I still have a bit of work there before I can focus on this repo again. Which is to say, I can take what you have here (which is great) and work from it if you need.

Does that all make sense?
