I am not sure that a python based app really fits in with the philosophy 
of the DE. Python imposes it's own overheads after all.

That said, I am currently writing a largish app in python and pygtk. If 
it ever gets to a releaseable state, I might not be putting it into Xfce 
because it doesn't really seem to fit.
