I seem to recall that the initial plan for the OLPC was that everything was done in python, because they wanted the kids to explore and modify. BTW, i recall Intel showing off a variant of the python interpreter being run directly from GRUB. Would have been interesting to see that ported to RPi. Also, i think there was someone working on a Python CLI that could replace bash etc.
