I don't understand. Not being a Python guru, why wouldn't you use the latest version?

To be honest, a single language would almost always be more advantageous. I experimented with a similar idea in Java a while back in hope of creating a botting framework (after seeing the power of RSBot). While I had the base code all there, it was too much of a hassle and, I reasoned most LG programmers wouldn't feel comfortable programming in Java. Then again, I really do hate working with Java, at least in Net Beans, so maybe that was the real reason :p

Python is actually a language I'm really interested in learning. It's gaining momentum in industry (curse those elusive, high paying web developer positions that specify python as a requisite), and it actually seems quite easy and lightweight to code in (one of the reasons I stuck with PHP so long - don't spend all of your time messing around with a damn designer). I might buy a couple of books and spend a 3-4 hours each day on weekends going through it.
