Then I think you would be better of writing your own package in Python. 
You should probably use mod_python, and then start from there. This will 
probably make you understand the problems better than reading someone 
elses code.

In other peoples code is a lot of steps down the wrong path that you 
simply don't see. But these wrong paths often contains a valuable lesson 
for a programmer.

Others might disagree, but I find this to be the most effective way of 
learning for me.

When I do a learning project like this, I am agressively using "proper" 
methodologies like patterns, XP etc. This way it is possible to learn a 
lot in a short amount of time.
