... so yeah, I'm still distracted by heraldry, and am just going to post random blazons today. (Almost none of which could easily be rendered in pyBlazon without supplying extra charge-pictures, which I shan't do for now.)
Per fess azure and argent, issuant from chief a castle many-towered inverted argent. (Per fess azure and cendrée might be better, and then again, might be going too far.)
Tenne, fleury Or. (Here, as in the arms of France, fleury = semy-de-lys.)
Vert, two Bengal tigers proper enflamed Or addorsed and a chief sapinage sable.
Per fess azure and vert, the dexter half of a beech-tree argent issuant from sinister and in canton the Sun in her splendour.
Quarterly, 2. azure, 3. argent, 1 and 4. an image of the escutcheon as a whole with argent and azure counterchanged; overall, a bendlet gules. (Not a bendlet sinister gules; that would be too easy.)
Sable, a mounted and armored knight argent, charged with several pellets.
Azure, a pall or, and a painter painting on the pall three brown bears proper.
Bleu celeste, in pale an open book argent and a butterfly in flight or.
Tierced per pale argent, sable, and argent, in pale a torteau, a bezant, and a pomme. Alternately, Argent, on a pale sable two torteaux, a bezant, and a pomme.
The input to pyBlazon that generates that last shouldn't work; I don't understand why it does what it does, but it does it. (I'd like to file a bug, but I seem to have displeased the great god Google, who will not currently let me log in to Gmail, probably due to accidentally refusing his cookies. I will deal with this later.)

I think I have an example listed along those lines. Something like vert on a pile inverted sable three billets argent; on a chief azure a bezant.
You can say Tenne semy-de-lis or; pyBlazon can do it.
I see you're playing with the "paren" tokens to get your various traffic lights. It doesn't handle different groups of charges very well (real heraldry usually had at most one big charge and a group of others, and it's only so-so at that). I imagine it would have a lot of trouble figuring out how to arrange things without the parens; they'd all likely end up on top of each other.
You're going to infect me with heraldry distraction, and then I'll have to code more! Argh!
You do, yes; I thought it was awesome on toast. (There's no bezant, mind.)
And yes; although what I actually wanted, for silly reasons, was #FF8000 semy-de-lys Or — which I could get with lim N → ∞ bendy of N gules semy-de-lys Or and Or, but I was loath to make a link to something stressing the server so. (Not that I have a high-traffic blog, but it's the principle of the thing.)
And, again, yes; in fact it has a lot of trouble arranging things even with the parens. (Note the order of the roundels I had to use in the pyBlazon script!) Without the parens, it sort of forgets what it's doing, and starts throwing everything into the last, topmost charge group. (See Sable, 25 torteaux in annulo, overall a roundel vert for a related example of overall-abuse.)
... and you're going to absolutely loathe my latest post.
