This could be a huge differentiator. With only C++ as an official development choice, this situations is basically the same as that fruit company. No matter about support for other tools in general, a solution that specifically gives python support can make the Maemo/Meego products a clear choice for a lot of projects.
It can also allow more software to appear first on these Meego- even if this early product is not a commercial version.

Any further progress....does seem like it has been a week?
