Hi ecrick3,
laurent here (the guy who started to wrote the python implementation). Since the first release on github, I've done some more tests and modifications to strenghten the library. Moreover, there's now a python implementation of the demo app written by EricKennedy in ruby. You can get the code here. I've tried to comment the code as much as possible to illustrate the different steps of the protocol. If you're a python developer and interested to participate in the development, you're also very welcome !
