[CF-Devel] Guile vs Python

Some CF-people asked me to get Python support in Crossfire. After some work 
around the serpent, I finally managed to make it run with Crossfire as a 
loadable module.
The question I ask now is quite simple: knowing that:

- Python and Guile are both scripting languages, doing more or less the same 
things;
- both requiring their own dependencies to be built;
- Python seems more popular than Guile;
- As far as I know, only two scripted objects do exist right now in the game;

should I:
- Replace Guile by Python in the main Crossfire stream ?
- Add Python support without removing Guile ?
- Another clever solution ?
