Might be OK.  Haven't looked at it for a while though.

Python is _really_ easy.  You can learn the structure in < 2 hours. 

If you have any questions feel free to ask, Thirdphase (the product I 
develop in my day job) is (to the best of my knowledge) the largest 
Python application in the world, so I work in a pretty darn good group 
of Python developers and between us we've experienced pretty much every 
pitfall python has to offer.
