Hi,

I would be interested in assisting with the Python libxl bindings.
I made some preliminary work at interfacing with libxl via Cython with
moderate success prior to the overhaul WRT async ops.
Now that the API has been stabilized and async APIs are available I
would like to take another go at it and integrate it with
gevent/libev.
If any others are interested in collaborating on this that would be awesome.

Joseph.
