One thing further to think about is that becoming dependent on a tool written in an interpreted language means that you need to install that language on your system and may become tied to a specific version of that language. In theory, this shouldn't be worse than tying yourself to a specific C library but in practice I've found that parallel installing interpreters and their libraries is a lot less supported than parallel installing a C lib. Using python in Fedora Infrastructure probably isn't too big a deal as we have abundant python programmers here to port things forward if the main developers don't but it is something to consider with other languages or in other environments. -Toshio
