In my opinion, Core OS, absolutely. There's already a world of pain in 
Maemo 5, with Python being just in Extras and thus effectively 
prohibited from Ovi Store. Yet, 20% of maemo.org apps are written in 
Python, so there's a significant developer base there. We're working on 
Harmattan to have the Ovi Store situation changed, and having to revert 
the stance once more in MeeGo proper would be, well, quite strange.

Additionally, Per's point of having PyGTK present in Core is a good 
reference: I think it would be a rather suboptimal situation if you 
could develop MeeGo-compliant Python applications for the Handset UX 
only with GTK but not with Qt.

Cheers,
