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.
