What makes them hard for you to get into? I'd like to know.

I don't think being an experienced Python developer is a negative asset;
the goal is just to include those who aren't experienced Python developers
in the process, as these may still be experienced HTML + CSS (or ZPT)
developers, and experienced user interface engineers. Views would likely
still be developed in part (the python intensive parts) by python
developers anyway.
