Yeah, I'm planning (but in low priority) to rewrite it in Python after cleaning up IDLs and code generators. The difficulty is that CodeGenerator*.pm are not the only target for rewriting. We also have to rewrite IDLParser.pm (2500 lines) and all other related Perl scripts at a breath. Although we can proceed with the work incrementally by defining intermediate data structure between Python and Perl, it will anyway be a huge amount of work.
