    Ever since I learned Python 3-4 years back I have been making an
effort to program more and more in Python.  I attempted to get my work
to switch over to no avail.  Presently I write 95% in Python, 5% in
shell and that 5% in shell is limited to the command-line.  If the tast
is too complex for me to pipe together a few shell utils I fire up vim
and into Python I go.

    Recently I've expanded into coding in wxPython thanks to the
wonderful efforts of the Boa-Constructor team.  First time I've
seriously delved into GUI work and it is, as with other Python projects,
extremely fun to work on.
