I've read some of the associated papers, but due to a mix of my not really knowing erlang well and it being proprietary it's not as useful for idea mining as I'd like it to be.

This is great.=C2=A0 Have you looked at the Erlang version of Quickc= heck?=C2=A0 It
may have aspects more directly applicable to Python, since Erlang is
dynamically typed like Python is.

I act= ually haven't looked at it much. I've read some of the associated p= apers, but due to a mix of my not really knowing erlang well and it being p= roprietary it's not as useful for idea mining as I'd like it to be.= I have some friends who are more extensive users of it who I've talked= to a bit about it for feature comparisons though.
