[boston-pig] introductory python class

[Alexander Fairley]

I'd certainly be interested in a whirlwhind tour of python's class system. I
know how to code, I even know a bit of python, I just have yet to do
anything major in it, although I do have  a project where I'm going to be
using some python, probably with the next month or two. I need to parse some
xml, but I'm sure I can figure that out, so no need to gear the session that
way.
