 For those of you unaware of lambda-py and the cs173 course:

lambda-py is a project to build simple core language for Python based on
Racket. This also includes a translation process that translates Python
code into this core. With that we'll be able to reason about semantics of
Python programs better. We'll be able to build better refactoring tools and
other code transformations etc.
