Let remember that many Python mobile developers have only some hours per week or month to develop as a hobby, so if there are tools easier to migrate (from Maemo/MeeGo/PC) to Sailfish, they will want them. Some of the Python softwares could be developed in C/C++, but then it would take more developing time and some would not be finished at all.

And please, stop saying mobile Python developers are lazy. They contributed and will contribute with a lot of free and open source softwares for Maemo, MeeGo, Sailfish, etc.
As I already said. OpenSource is about contribute if main coders has no time I could definitivly understand that. But thing is there is so many people here bashing about XYZ and why is not that Open source why is not Jolla HW good enought and so on. Now if that time could be used on making apps/port apps etc it would be better for all.

There is also other stuff that may involve porting. Going from Python2 => python3.

And btw. We definitively not need too many alternatives librarys IMHO. Especially not on embedded linux.

It only leads to massive package dependies hell that we know of in the Linux on desktop
