I'm the python guy in my office of perlies.

but at the moment the RC shell is where it's at for me

I think it would be nice if there were a plan9 specific python a like or
some sort of higher level scripting language.
The shell seems almost complete enough for now. I want to try and stick to
the 'loads of little utilities & file servers' model rather than general
purpose applications.

While I'm wishing though when I first came to plan9 of course I wanted to
bring my python hammer with me. Implementing a file server in a scripting
language sounds groovy. In the end though I'm glad it wasn't there because
it's making me learn the OS rather then live in python. Hopefully I'll
eventually know enough about it to either add the functionality to python
myself or simply not care.
