Without considering any wider question here, let me just note this:

Anything that can be done in this area in Python should be doable in 
Perl fairly simply. I don't think we should be adding any Python 
dependencies. For good or ill Perl has been used for pretty much all our 
complex scripting (pgindent, MSVC build system etc.)
