There have already been - admittedly sporadic - proposals to rewrite some key parts of the system, like the init scripts or adduser, in python. However, if the proponent knows from the beginning the implementation wouldn't be accepted because of the language it is written in, you can't expect him to start working on it. Putting python in the set of required packages today would simply be a waste of resources. But accepting the idea of putting it in *if* a good enough application shows up is the necessary step to have the applications show up. Some people here are refusing it by principle. -- .''`.
