What would it take to get Python people more interested in it? I've been monitoring the site [1] and the mailing list [2] for some time, but nothing particularly visible seems to be happening.

Well, judging from the reactions on blogs to the initial announcement here, quite some people have heard about it and seem interested. But that didn't result in more people hacking on it, which is unfortunate.

I guess in part it's because there are not that many people really into both Python and Lisp, and those who are might not find this an interesting project because there is nothing "wow" to show, yet.

So you are right about the project silence. Right now it's a one-person pet project, and progress is slow. But I'm already quite happy about the current state: stable, usable, and fairly complete.

As for more exposure: I'd prefer to wait with big announcements until there are really interesting things achieved.

Thanks a lot for your interest and comments!
