title: API compatibility between scala and python?
body: <p>I have read a dozen pages of docs, and it seems that:</p>
  <ol>
  <li><p>I can skip learning the scala part</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>the API is completely implemented in python (I don't need to learn scala for anything)</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>the interactive mode works as completely and as quickly as the scala shell and troubleshooting is equally easy</p>
  </li>
  <li><p>python modules like numpy will still be imported (no crippled python environment)</p>
  </li>
  </ol>
  <p>Are there fall-short areas that will make it impossible?</p>
