I have a G1 myself, a friend has the Tattoo, and I have played with
quite a few heros. For me the physical keyboard is a must, if you are
similar, I would try and find out if the Motorola Droid is coming here
any time soon. The Tattoo is kinda small and dinky, which puts its on
screen keyboard at a disadvange to the Hero, it kinda strikes me as a
hero lite, but still a very nice phone.

Proper full on python does not really work on Android, but it does have
a scripting environment which supports it. You cant build full polished
apps with it, but handy little tools are easy. I've seen someone use a
combination of the android api + python to turn their android phone into
a barcode scanner which sends the codes via bluetooth to a desktop.

I dont think python will ever be a first class language on the platform
though, its a very java centric environment.
