No, but all the existing python code should be written in C++/JS. Maybe not 
that much but I rather would use that time on writing ScriptEngine for 
python.

What comes to bindings I personally don't see much difference between plasma 
and let's say kdelibs and would like to see same language support in both. I 
think that users don't write code they just use applets and for them it 
doesn't matter what language was used to write them. For me It's OK to 
promote JS as the main scripting language and write tutorials for that but I 
just would like to see an option for some us that want to do it the hard 
way :-)
