I haven't used the bridge, but I think Python would be an awesome
language for writing test scripts. I like that it gets rid of the
write-only nature of Perl. Because of its support for lambdas and a
functional style of programming, I think it's well suited for
concisely executing a cart load of test permutations, and for
factoring out the boiler plate from the tests.
There is also the huge support advantage that the PyObjC creator is
an Apple engineer.

I'd like to see us figure out a way to use PyObjC or some other
similar technology to do tests that are like our layout tests. This
would be superior to actual Objective-C because we wouldn't have to
compile all the test programs. Recently I've been seeing an
increasing number of bugs in our Objective-C DOM and wanting tests
that could regression test that the way our layout tests can do
regression tests for JavaScript and HTML issues.
Anyone interested in this? Any thoughts on whether it's practical?
