Hi Michael,

Yes, that would be appreciated. As you say, our only dependence on
python.el is this requirement for a suitable inferior python comint
buffer, currently supplied by `run-python'.

I'll just note that this is not a requirement for absolutely vanilla,
default org-babel operation: by default org-babel runs interpreters as
external shell processes; persistent emacs sessions using inferior
processes are made available as an option for certain languages via
the :session argument.
