  - Not sure how to pull this one off yet, as a work around it could
 make http request to the api in json (since Python supports that) but
 a way without making http calls would be preferred. I'm not a heavy
 Python developer (I've used it a couple of times to write simple
 ircbots (irclib) and wikibots (pywikibot), but that's about it). Any
 suggestions from python developers how they would like to have it
 delivered, let me know how you want it served and I'll see what I can
 do. 
Count me in for supporting python, too. My experience is similar to yours,
and I cannot start rightaway, but I think, getting the php implementation
as a reference should have preceedence anyways.

Btw., I have been thinking about PLURAL implementations. It might
be possible to automatically extract plural routines from MediaWikis
LanguageZxx.php files, and wrapping them into a piece of code such
as a big switch on language codes. Since the functions are pretty small,
and there are not really many languages having their own PLURAL
implementations, this might at least be a simple and effective start.
