Although I like Python and support scriptability of apps, I understand
Leo's concern, because not everyone wants to put the bloat into his
system, because developer A wanted to have his app in language A, and
developer B in language B.

It is already visible in Amarok as some scripts are in Ruby, some in
Python and to use Amarok fully you have to have both Ruby and Python
installed.

So, I think the main infrastructure should be in C++ and only
"additional value" in script languages.
