I can only second that - KDE's most usable scripting language (and it is
_extremely_ usable, seems to be a well-hidden secret. Part of the problem
is that an older, unmaintained set of bindings still floats around the
archives. If you want good, usable, solid bindings, that enable you to
write KDE apps in a third of the time a C++ program would take, go to

Phil Thompson, the author, has publicly stated that his goal is to make
everything that's possible from C++, possible in Python - and he's quite
near to that goal ;-). 

Oh, and if all goes well, there'll be a book on Python and KDE out not too
long after the first full release of KDE 2...
