Hack On Sunlight's Real Time Congress API - creating a library for it

Details

During the last meeting, we briefly discussed the Sunlight Foundation's Real Time Congress API. If you are not yet aware of this powerful and non-profit organization that has gain national attention, a good introduction video is available below.
Recently, Sunlight Labs has given Charlotte Python (That's us!) the privilege to attempt an official python wrapper for their RTC API. This library would be used by developers on a nation wide scale for purpose of building government tracking applications. So far, we've already had an impressive start. Don't miss this great opportunity to get recognition for contributing to a humanitarian and rewarding project. Our current progress on github.com can be see here:
https://github.com/pythonclt/RTC-python-library
We will spend the majority of the time hacking on this project. A brief explanation to the mechanics of the API and current code will be provided prior to the coding session. Those with less experience to python, pip, and version control will be helped out separately in the back.
As always, anyone with an interest in python is encouraged to attend.
