That is not quiet true. Persistent Modules provide the functionality of Python 
"Scripting" for the TTW developer.

The question becomes whether Python Scripts would be something the scripter 
really needs. I would argue that they are already one abstraction or 
factorization step beyond the scripter.

I wish Alan (Runyan) or Paul (Everitt) would join this discussion, since they 
both gave me the idea of providing more support for this group of developers. 
(I do agree with both of them, but I do not have as much practical experience 
with these people to back up my belief better.)
