I would love to see some work here, especially something using a virtual
environment. There are many who might want to contribute a little patch, or
see translation files live etc, and don't want to struggle with installing
twenty different Python packages etc. Especially people who are not used to
Python programming (what can seem very obvious to people who have
everything nicely setup might not be so easy if you are new - even if you
are used to programming in other languages).
