Everybody who knows only a little bit about the history of msysGit knows 
that Perl/Bash support was easy while Python seems to be impossible.  
Before anybody says "but Python is Open Source, and available for 
Windows": I will only listen when you have a script that builds Python 
inside msysGit, not requiring a proprietary compiler nor Linux for a 
cross-build.

Hth,
