Lisp Cells Moving to Python

I ran across the NYC Lisp User Group's description of a Google Summer of Code project to port Lisp Cells to Python. I hadn't heard of Cells before this, but this seems like a potentially cool thing. I would like to try this, especially on Python. I'm not a Lisp coder, but it would be fascinating to go to one of their meetings. One can imagine anyone in NYC passionate enough to show up to a Lisp user group would be an interesting character. :-)
