Hi all,

I'm considering introducing a python script to the codebase to help keep
track of cross-module dependencies. We have tools to help this inside
Google, which is why the libraries code, for example, is not a pile of
dependency spaghetti. Unfortunately they're not appropriate to use outside.
We have a couple of options:

- Do everything in Java so we can invoke it from ant
- Use python (or some other scripting language) for scripting

While possible, I'm not excited about using Java for script-style things. We
should use a platform-independent scripting language, and Python is widely
known and understood. This would eventually be a path to replacing all the
shell scripts and batch files too (though some of the run scripts can
perhaps move into ant).

Python would only be required for development, not running the server.
Pre-packaged distros would not require python.

Objections? Opinions?

Alex
