It seems easy in Python as well - no?
The Post Count script is PHP not Python. The Python version is for people to use with their email as it will read the Mbox file where FFL messages are stored. It's several lines of code add in the right place not just a one liner. I also think it needs to be PHP 4 compatible. You know the dweebs keep feeling the need to change and deprecate things. For instance in Python 3 print is now a function and that will break a lot of scripts.
