I think 10 is way too high; I would call it prohibitive for anyone who
isn't already primarily a Python hacker.

I agree it should be more than 1 for 1 for several reasons, but I'd be
willing to bet you get excellent results from 3:1 or even 2:1.  Even
if you think that risks being a burden on your time, since you've had
no takers yet (and it's been a while since the last time I saw your
proposal), I'd say that lowering the "price" to 5:1 is a reasonable
idea, and not very risky.  You can always raise the price again if you
get 50 useful reviews by next Tuesday.<wink>
