Hi Grig, I found that the authentication code was the most difficult to port, especially for AWS. Java and Python have very different utilities for handling encoding/encryption schemes, so most of my authentication code was written from scratch. By all means, do what makes the most sense for Python.
I expect that the factoring of common components (e.g. connections), libcloud components (e.g. Node), and storage components (e.g. Item) and general design patterns are what can be leveraged most from the Java work. As you dive into this, please feel free to ask questions and provide feedback on the Java structure.
