That's what the author meant, and what everybody understood
(with the possible exception of David Ullrich).

One could use a "deeply embedded" Python bytecode interpreter
running inside the kernel to allow the user to write a driver
in Python.  It would take a fair amount of work, but I don't
think it would be particularly difficult -- at least under
Linux.  People have already a lot of the requied work in order
to run a Python interpreter on embedded systems.

Sounds like a good MS project to me...
