A while ago I read that Mozilla was going to get Python scripting support.

Today, on the Mozilla Roadmap Blog:

Python for XUL will be available in the Mozilla 1.9 milestone time frame, when the DOMAGNOSTICBRANCH is landed some time this calendar year for sure, but then only in alpha releases and trunk nightly builds. The next major Firefox release based on the 1.9 milestone (Firefox 1.5 is based on the Mozilla 1.8 milestone) will include Mark’s work — but not a C-Python environment by default.

It seems like it’ll only be available to XUL and will require Python to be installed but it sounds like a real neat start and should make it a lot easier to write applications on the Mozilla platform.
