I am starting to realize this on my own :-). The true story is that
while working on Groovy (I am a committer on this dynlang meant to run
on the Java VM: http://groovy.codehaus.org) and reading some Python
materials, my interest grew exponentially. And now I have decided to
see how other succesfull java project I have co-created (TestNG:
http://testng.org) would look like in Python (this giving me the
opportunity to explore Python in more depth).

Thanks for the encouragement.
