[ddj] self-education python study group anyone?

Hi Lorenz,

I'd already enrolled for the database study group but seeing that there's a
python class poppin, I'd also want to do that as well.
Please hit me with the details to this, I have a vague background with
python and I'd really be motivated when doing this together!

Cheers!
