I would certainly look at it positively. In fact, I'm somewhat surprised
that nobody has done that before, given that there are a lot of Python
users out there. But perhaps not too many people actually want to embed
scripting into an MTA. I don't think very many people use the Perl
embedding, for instance.

Go ahead, and send me or the list the patches. I can't promise to look
at it on any particular timescale, however,
