Hi Deborah,

Sounds intriguing.

You've told us what the skill-set is but not much else about the
project. For people to get a better sense of the time commitment and
skill level you need, can you let us know what you're expecting?

For example, it *could* be something really simple for an experienced
programmer to do, or it may be the moon on a stick. One immediate way
the Python community can help you is by giving you an estimate of the
time and amount of work you'll need to make your project work.

Looking forward to hearing more...

Also, if you want to meet real Python programmers and learn some Python
yourself, you should probably book yourself a ticket to this year's
PyCon UK in Cardiff (http://pyconuk.org/)

Best wishes,

Nicholas.
