I'm hoping that during the spring/summer terms I'll have enough time to dig into it seriously. I am kind of disappointed with the regular expression in Python, though. They seems so clunky compared to Perl, though I guess it is pretty much on par with the C++ boost library (the only other one I've ever used).
