I figure that a general policy would be that languages that are required
to run a desktop component can get their bindings ported in (assuming
they're not part of platform, and their bindings don't already form an
excellent package). For the moment that means Python's libpanel-applet
binding. If we want to go for other applets in other languages, we can
port those later.

Right on.
