Goes without saying. But I would like to be confident (or as
confident as possible) that all bugs are mine. If I use plain
C, I think this is the case. Of course, bad memory management
in the underlying platform will wreak havoc. I am planning to
use Linux 2.4.somethingnew as the OS kernel, and there I have
not experienced too many problems before.

Adding the Python interpreter adds one layer on uncertainty.
On the other hand, I am after the simplicity of programming
offered by Python.
