True. But chances might be better to find such a person if python was left in... if we had it in Bacula (as long as possible - Bacula core development might some day get incompatible with how python is embedded today - ) that might be a starting point for someone who knows python's inside well enough. Anyone of you active on the python developers mailing list? There might be someone around who would support pythons embedding in other hardware looking for a nice project (with not too many support issues currently...)
