I presume your asking because python is your stronger language, if thats the case yes the python bindings are in reasonable shape. epymc is a decent sized application written in python and there are a couple of smaller ones such as Lekha epymc and epad, all of which are reasonable and show the bindings are capable if you want to go that way and find it easier. In terms of issues to watch for the main one I found was that most parts of efl including its event loop will want to run in the main thread, which if you have other libs that would normally want to do that could cause issues. It took a while for me to get a websockets lib that would play ok with it. I haven't done alot of efl development with either python or C++ in my day job i'm a Qt programmer but I maintain enlightenment in openSUSE for fun so I don't think i'm that biased.
