I am actually in the process of trying to develop one of these in Python. Since I am pretty new to python or programming in general, it has been a really good learning experience. I haven't really gotten very far yet...since its all learning about basically everything...its been fun. I have made some basic calls to the API and had the info shoved into a MySQL database...but thats about...nothing grand.
