Yes, IIRC, it was a request from Aaron Siego to open KDE main tree to other languages than C++. Python perfectly fits in my opinion this request. What is your main problem about this Leo ? Of course, if it was Mono or Java, I think the problem should be different (particularly Mono, because Java 7 is going to be GPL2), but in this case, this is a open source language without any problem, and really well supported.

No, it'd be the first. IIRC, it was talked about some time ago though that
this is actually wanted. (Granted, not for core apps, but in general to open
up more for non-C++ languages and developers.)
