I would have thought that waiting for IO, even locally, would easily
swamp python's overhead? The lack of typechecking shouldn't be too much
of a problem if you take advantage of duck typing - especially via the
abstract base classes in newer versions (PEP 3119). It's probably also
worth keeping in mind just how many ROXish utilities are written in
python - standardising on a 'main' language would be good if its
achievable. Also, the Filer could then use ROX-Lib (without having to
maintain bindings for it).
