Matt, it looks pretty simple and straightforward.  Good job!

I'd rack the baud rate up to 250000 though. According to the rate chart I 
have for the ATMega328, that's the highest rate you can use with a 0% 
clocking error.

One thing you might want to look at is using packets of binary data 
instead of raw text.  I don't know how Python sends binary data though.

(and yes, I could over complicate something as simple as crossing a 
street. :) )
