I never worked with the bindings, but are you sure they always work and will never break on minor releases? Or that they will be ready at the same time when a new KDE version comes out? IIRC there were many times problems with the kdebindings module in KDE3. > About the memory usage, we are currently talking about integrating > *Python* scripting language only, not "a mix of different scripting > applications".

I'm pretty sure it works fast on my desktop machine as well, but what about my laptop with 192MB RAM? Yes, it is outdated, but perfectly usable for daily, none developing work. If we allow Python apps, we will have to allow other apps as well. If I can't get a usable desktop without those apps, I will end up with a bloated system. Guidance is a border case, because on most systems you can work without it as well, with the distribution provided tools. But eg. a system settings module (like desktop configuration or such), a mail client, or even the default calculator should work without external dependencies.
