Python is a very popular, high level, object-oriented language, and consequently, pyGlobus is a very attractive alternative to Java and CORBA CoGs. Definitely, it is yet another powerful tool for developing Grid Computing Environments. In this context, the phrase "yet another" should be taken as a positive term. Unfortunately the available version of the paper is incomplete (I would assume it is a draft rather than a final submission): it contains phrases as "need tie-in paragraph here" or "to be completed". It is a pity, since even this version of the paper looks interesting, and it describes an important development and a good work. My recommendation is to ask the author for the final version. Once completed, most likely it will well deserve publication in the special issue of the Concurrency. .
