The paper doesn't use psuedocode as I know it. In my experience pseudocode looks much more similar to real code. (According to Wikipedia I'm more used to mathematical pseudocode)
I've never been a fan because writing some simplified Python seems better. Or even better, writing Python that doesn't necessarily follow every syntax rule to a T and takes liberties where necessary to improve readability
I started doing exactly this. Write a bunch of functions, that may end up in different systems, on different machines, even. This allows you to define the interfaces, figure out data dependencies, and so on.
The code may be runnable, just printing out some statements. Then I copy blocks of it to the place where it will belong.
It's more of a thinking tool, than "actual code".
