with Python they are both easy, the meaty part of the task is writing a PMC 
hierarchy that embodies Python semantics or a non-trivial subset thereof. I 
imagine that the challenge code should touch on things like 
__getattribute__, descriptors, bound and unbound methods ... otherwise it 
would be rather unfair.
