Python on the rise in finance...

Nice article about the rise of Python in quantitative finance.  Apparently the SEC has put forward a proposal that requires most asset-backed securities issuers to file a Python computer program to model and document the flow of funds (or waterfall) provisions associated with the transaction.

Needless to say, continuing to improve my Python capabilities is at the top of my list of things to do over the next term...
