XUL behavior in Python via XPCOM, Mozilla

I recently saw a claim that Mozilla XUL behaviors (normally
scripted in Javascript) can (or perhaps will) be scriptable
in Python.

Also, "other languages such as Java or Python are supported
through XPCOM", said about Mozilla (from Luxor website).

Yes, I know several ways to *generate* XUL from Python, and
at least one way to use XUL to create interfaces for Python
programs, but in this case, I'm talking about defining
button action behavior in XUL by calling Python scripts.

I know that Javascript is the preferred language, but I've
seen several references to being able to do this in Python,
including a claim that a release was targeted for early
November (2005), to provide this.

Now I can't find it again.  Anyway, I was hoping someone
on c.l.p / python.org would have a reliable reference on
this.

Thanks,
Terry
