It's not that unfeasible - I can think of a few instances off the top of my head where
management have read something in a magazine or heard something in conversation, then
come in full of vim and vigour the next day - telling people to create item X using buzzword
technology Y by the end of the day, the week or whatever, despite the devs having never seen it,
despite the timescale being insufficient, and despite there being *real* work to do.

Even if it's just because they want to see it, or to impress other management types with their
use of the latest "trend", I believe the best response is to just get on with it.
Self-preservation and all that.

Even so, the idea of using python across the company is actually a very sensible one, so I expect
it's programmer's enthusiasm fuelling things in this case.
