Warning, warning! Slippery slope! (tongue in cheek)

Samba started using just a wee dram of Python, and in Andrew
Bartlett's words, Samba now has more Python than C, and it's only
going to keep going that way.

Similarly, KiCad now offers Python scripting.  I can see a future for
KiCad when more and more core stuff is done with Python (and less with
C++).

Python likes to get its claws into everything!
