do you? i suspect.
well, you might want to spend some disks for 
the machines of all the 300 developers.

please drop python. might be a great language,
superiour to perl in every way one can think of.
but we all have to use perl already, it's not only
on the base disks, it's even used in lintian!
and i don't have the space to install another big 
language.
