That's a very good point. :)

I'd only been thinking of it from the point of view of giving
us a "full" RESTful API that's equivalent to the CLI.  So
people could do some very in depth automation and integration
with it.

But having the CLI as Python does sound like it would be much
easier to develop + get contributors for too.

Proposal for 3.6 maybe? :)
