So, what's left to do with Python in Frontier?

• Calling UserTalk code from Python
• Restore Python 'rendering' (this will allow the use of usertalk comments in Python (the left pointing chevrons), the 'bundle:' keyword, and I plan to add 'main:', which will expand to 'if __name__ == "__main__":')
• Integrating Python exceptions into the Frontier error reporting system
• Enabling "KeyboardInterrupt" for runaway Python code
• Convert to using PyGIL* functions for GIL manipulation
• Flesh out type conversion

Once all of that is done, I'll be comfortable calling this 1.0. I'm going to leave the integration of the Python debugger for a later release, because it's fairly involved. My opinion is that the most important part of this is to get a stable 1.0 release out there and used.
