Yes, thanks to Sweden :) ! * ``Martin Freitag``, who survived having me as a colleague and teacher, and generously converted his beloved AnimIO from MEL to MRV, providing it as a first demo tool from which others might be able to learn something. * ``PyMel`` for being a source of inspiration and for hinting me at more advanced python techniques without which MRV wouldn't be possible. * ``Python`` for being such a flexible and sometimes mind-bending language especially if you come from statically typed languages like C++, and for forcing me into Test-Driven-Development as MRV would be totally unreliable without it.
