Please read the first few words of my first post, where I say 'Not to
disparage the goal of full Python support'.  Because I really would like
to see full Python support there.  I was just pointing out that the
device is sold to a far wider audience: I suspect more people have
bought it from Nokia shops and the like (one of the main telcos
advertises it in newspapers here), than people from maemo-developers.

That's all.  End users aren't hackers.  (If it was, we'd probably be
shipping Sawfish.)

Cheers,
Daniel
