  I've used rebol for over 11 years. Longer than I have used python. 
  I've not used rebol/view however, since my meal-ticket is console
  and web progamming. I'm guessing that you are going to find that
  difficult to do, but my suggestion would be:

  1)Get into one of the rebol communities - probably thru altme. 
  2)You will find that most rebol programmers work in other
  languages also, and quite a few (like me) in python. 
  3)You are likely to get a lot of ideas there.
