Calling a Perl Module from Python ( future direction of Python)

[gf gf]

Really!  That's a pity... Instead of trying to
recreate a repository the size of CPAN, a Python
interface to Perl modules is really called for.

Instead of fretting over decorator syntax and
lispiness, might I suggest that development efforts be
directed to this?  Developers, are you listening? 
Guido?

PS And I don't mean waiting for Perl 6 to condense...
