Hello,

Thank you very much for accepting me as a member of your team! Python is the most beautiful, simple and complex language I ever knew, and it's an honor for me to help to make it better.

Just to give you an idea of how passionate I am about python, I'd like to tell you a short story. When I just started to work on PEP 362 with Brett and Larry, we had a few discussions of how things should be going and I promised them to draft a first version of the PEP and implementation by the end of the week. On Friday, I decided to make a surprise for my girlfriend and booked a weekend in Montreal, and in the morning of Saturday I woke up with a fever of 37 degrees. Well, it's just 37, I'll be OK by the time we drive there. Hell I was wrong. For two days, the only thing I was romantically attached to, was my bed in the hotel room. And midday of Sunday, I realized that I have a promise to fulfill. So here I was, sitting on the bed, with a fever of 39 degrees, with one eye closed, and the other one so filled with tears so I had to squish it to have a clear spot on the screen, working on that draft and writing unittests. All because I knew that while it'd be OK to wait a few days, we didn't actually have time for that, because the release was just around the corner, and every day was important.

So, again, thank you very much! I now have to break the buildbot I guess..

Yury
