It has been hard for me to attend meetings this semester due to
my busy schedule but hopefully I can catch this one. I never got into
Python much, but I keep seeing it pop up here and there. Maybe its an
omen.

For those interested in Python, there is also the Guile Scheme
interpreter which is an interpreted language (like Python) which is
also embeddable (like Python). The main advantage of Scheme is (as a
dialect of Lisp) that it allows multi-paradigm programming.
