Because the first one didn't do what somebody wanted.
Because the person who wrote the "second" one didn't know about
the first one.
Because somebody thought it would be fun or interesting.

No, I don't think so. Where did you find "normal jtag" written
in C?

Yes.

Why is there more than one brand of beer? Why is there more
than on kind of car? Why is there more than on kind of
microprocessor? ;)

No, it's not funny. But it can be interesting and educational.

If by "python-jtag" you mean the "pyjtag", then both are
written in Python by the same author. pyjtag, pyserjtag, pybsl
were the original more independent versions of the utilities.
They've since been re-written so that they share more code and
install as a set as the programs named msp430-xxxx.

Use msp430-jtag/msp430-bsl/msp43-xxx. Those tools are the ones
that are being maintained. The others have been unmaintained
for 4-5 years. The tools page on the web site is way
out-of-date -- only talks about the old, unmaintained tools.
