[...forgot to reply to the list...] Dear David,
Thanks for your feedback -- you got right to the point: ...python would be more of a prototyping language, and later translated > into another language for faster maneuvering of data > exactly! I was hoping that, since the modeling framework is conceptually well developed (i.e., books, papers, analysis, etc. in 35+ years), most of the work would be towards getting the code up to the same conceptual (i.e., abstraction) level. Hence, I was thinking Python would be a good tool for that. Performance can be taken care of at a later stage, if needed. Please do not hesitate to drop a further line.
