I'm flabbergasted at this!

This should really be a matter of the utmost urgency.

The last thing Nokia need it to discourage developers contributing software to the platform as well as the OVI store.

This is reason enough to make Python an officially supported language and Nokia need this.

I can't wait for Nokia's response to this.
