Although building a Python lib for iLiad is possilbe (there are already unofficial patch for cross compiling Python lib), I don't think coding in Python for iLiad is a good idea. The biggest problem just lies in the linkage between Python and GUI.Taking PyGTK for instance, nobody guarantee that PyGTK is OK on iLiad. The worst case is that somebody spends time to build Python and PyGTK for iLiad and found that it's not working.
Python is a powerful language. But we don't have much resource on iLiad. Even the official iPDF have to draw screen in a non-usual GTK way. Under such circumstance, I won't expect much on dev-tool other than C/C++. The JVM on iLiad is quite good (GUI control is quite easy), but it only supports few API.
