How would the user switch to Python then?
rhq-cli.sh --language=python

I think this is a good idea as Python is much used inside Fedora, RHEL and
probably other distributions, so the number of people understanding it is
quite large.

The cli lives in rhq's download section, so the server install would grow in
both cases.
We could offer a download space, where this lives, so the user can in the
existing cli say "instal Python" which would get Python and make it
available. Perhaps also Ruby later.
