Most of my interaction with Daniel has been through the tracker rather
than python-dev, and it's specifically his work on fixing some
(obscure) latent defects in the metaclass calculation for 3.2 that
earned my respect (although he's worked on several other patches as
well, the results of which can be seen in Misc/NEWS).

Nick.
