Python more common. As long as we want to use e.g. PackageKit as back-end, we need to have Python installed (and occupying memory) anyway.
Uh, why? PackageKit does not require python. Our package does because it includes the python client API (dbus wrapper).
I just recalled that PackageKit is the reason why Python is dragged in by WebYaST.
The main purpose of that comment was that we should be aware whether we drag in Python code (which we have to co-maintain with the community then). For installation, we are also limited by memory.
Regarding memory usage, I found this:
http://hentenaar.com/serendipity/index.php?/archives/27-Benchmark-PHP-vs.-P ython-vs.-Perl-vs.-Ruby.html
In these tests, Ruby consumed 30% less memory than Python.
Regarding disk space / package size, its ~20MB for Python and ~6MB for Ruby.
That's nothing I disagree with. What I say is that Python + Ruby > Python Python + Ruby > Ruby I'm advocating against resulting in a mixed environment.
