Andrew,

Good work.  I would recommend that new people wanting to contribute to
Python be urged to look first at the libraries (batteries) instead of the
language (radio) itself.  The language itself is growing new features on an
occaional basis, but its interaction with the outside world (e.g. XML) is
just as important (or perhaps more important).
