The idea that "factory" is an obscure term for Python programmers is scary.

As a concept, it's possibly not obscure (although I'm introducing Python to colleagues at work, who are used to VB and SQL, and for whom "object" is a fairly novel term!) But it took me a while to figure out how it related to what's going on here. I got it, and it's now obvious, but that initial "huh?" feeling is probably worth watching out for :-)
