By that I meant that several scripts which come with subversion are 
written in Python. They're pretty easy to replace with PHP scripts 
though if we do decide to use eg. the pecl svn extension. We would need 
to modify them extensively anyway if we were to use a system analogous 
to the one in use in CVS now (avail system comes to mind), so rewriting 
them in PHP would probably take the same amount of time/effort. I 
personally wouldn't mind using PHP at all (would even prefer it as I 
wrote in my original mail to svn-migration).
