Why?

This project is intended to be a learning tool with comprehensive documentation. It is not only for learning about Python as a programming language it is meant to demonstrate how the language is part of a vast Open Source ecosystem. This simple application uses all my (current) favorite bells and whistles of this ecosystem.
