It would be nice if Python became one of the supported languages in BDS !!

I think those who prefer C# usually choose Visual studio. So if DevCo's
lack of resources is a problem: drop C#, add Python.

Are you aware that IronPython is available for Visual Studio?

IronPython compiles Python programs into bytecode that will run on either
Microsoft's .Net or the open-source Mono platform.
IronPython includes an interactive interpreter and transparent on-the-fly
compilation of source files like the Python language. The language is
written in C# and is made available as part of Microsoft's Shared Source
initiative.

OMG, Microsoft hired Jim Hugunin, the creator of IronPython and is now
embracing a shared source imitative that supports stuff for Mono - surly the
sky is falling.<g>
