Python is so flexible that I use it as development glue

I can think of no better example of "Python as glue" than this here commit on one of my game projects, in which I took locale files from one game (LaserTank) and converted them for use in a remake of said game (LaserTank Improved). This is such a common development task, and one highly suitable for automation, that using Python seemed too logical to NOT do... here is the commit in question.

I've done similar tasks with Perl in the past, but I might use Python in the future just judging by how hard the Perl code is to understand after writing it.
