Congratulations. It would also be of great use for environmental science students. I would like to try it and then recommend it to students later. I'm not sure why Python has been described in some associated project documents as easier or friendlier than Fortran. They are both pretty simple in that regard. I agree there are other reasons that Python (like some other new languages) is a better choice for a new project with many contributors and users.
