I know about this project. I'll have a look at it, but I'd like to
create something of my own.

I was thinking about sacrificing some flexibility of Python and thank
you for pointing me to this project. I didn't about it.

I'd like to hear a word from developers, what they think about
this :).

BTW: My seminar deals with object oriented programming.
