Everyone starts out as a Padawan and I am no exception :-)

Maybe five years from now I'll also have made my way to be a Python Jedi
and also shake the ins and outs of descriptors out of my sleeve :-)

But I can only repeat myself: Python is such an exceptional language,
the more and more I know about it, the more I fall in love! Fantastic. I
wish we had these types of language when I was a kid!
