Hi Lee,

I'm not a specialist of Python. I do have just basic skills of it. It seems that it's not a big deal to learn it in depth (i.e. OOP). So let's move forward with Python. As I said previously in my other postings, I'll start focusing on task A as starting point. In the meanwhile, it'll be great to have an idea on the framework that you'll provide.

Let's move forward.
