Should I send it to the list as well for RFC? Although I like Python a lot, I don't think it would be a good choice. AFAIK Git core does not depend on Python and therefore you can't really expect a Python interpreter in every Git environment (e.g. it is not part of Git for Windows). The wrapper could certainly be implemented in C, although I don't know if this would make things harder then they need to be. My initial thought was to use a scripting language that is known to be shipped with Git (Bash or Perl). I think Perl might even have an advantage as it offers very good regex/string processing functions (disclaimer: I am no Perl expert at all...). Please post your draft proposal as plain text RFC to the list.
