Your mileage may vary but from my pov Python is a much nicer language.
However, since autotools requires Perl anyway, we require Perl to build
liblouis. So far a user doesn't need Python to build liblouis. If we
write a test harness in Python we ask the user to install Python, at
least to run the test harness. But I think it isn't such a big problem:
we can make the test harness optional depending on the existence a
Python installation, i.e. liblouis can be built without running the test
harness.
Thanks
