Lambda the Ultimate

I will have to implement a complicated static code analyzer.

I have been using SOOT. It is not hard but but it seems time-consuming to get acuqinted with their large amount of API.

I believe a easier way is to use Python,
(Look at this link
http://suif.stanford.edu/~courses/cs243/hw6/hw6.html )

But I really do not want to start from "Helloworld. " Would you PL guys who happen to know Python tell me where should I start to learn Python for this usage?

Thanks.
