That sounds like a sales presentation where the 3-month project is the
demo, and normally in those situations, it's important that the demo
not hit any snags.  So all the same issues apply.

The way I had read it, though, management had already been persuaded
to commit to Python, and now they had some project that they had to
get finished.
