Interesting concept.
I've actually just applied a piece of shrink wrap tubing over the magsafe end of the boy's power adapters. That and plastic wire loom to protect from sharp kitteh teeth.

I tried heat shrink but a tube big enough to go over the connector wouldn't shrink enough to form a tight fit on the cord.

I've used this stuff for this kind of fix. You can mold it to any shape while it's soft and then 24 hrs later you get a nice rubber covering that stops the shred. [www.target.com]

better deal is the 8 pack from Amazon, $22. You can even get it in different colors. I just bought one, but didn't use it yet.

Cool. Does this come with two different "colors" that you blend together? I use something similar for scar management.

The $100 Apple store bought L-shape connector was the replacement for the original T-shape one. The former was the one with the fray issue. Also, its placement is awkward as it blocks the nearby USB port.
UPDATE: Just found this: [gearaddix.com]
Has anyone here had any experience with this 3rd party Apple adapter?

several people asked why do you need that Python thing, since the cable usually fails at the other end. Did you bother to stop for a second a d give a response?
Look at reviews on Amazon. Those a crap. stick to Apple chargers, and use some of the suggestions discussed here.

Gaffer's Tape.
I may cmd-C/cmd-V that into multiple threads... it works for so many things.
Wish I had light grey to match the cord, but hey, it's still Gaffer's Tape!
