Python is a great language though I don't care for the whole  
"indentation used to mark blocks of code bit."	When I was working  
with it the one take-away was just how slow the language was.  For a  
campaign manager you probably won't be able to tell the difference  
and I'm sure that Guido and team has done things to speed it up since  
then.
