Hi,

The best (only?) DJGPP port of Python is here:

SETEDIT uses his own slisp, IIRC, for scripting.

The simplest scripting language seems to be Lua, and it's already been
ported by Juan:    http://na.mirror.garr.it/mirrors/djgpp/beta/v2tk/lua520b.zip

Or you could use (Regina) REXX, e.g. Rexx/Curses, which works with
PDcurses:
