Python to be used to build OLPC apps

The $100 laptop from MIT will be providing Python for application
developers to use. This laptop is a low-power consumption
innovative laptop that includes features like:
- low-power wi-fi with longer than normal range and the ability
to keep communicating after the CPU has been put to sleep.
- color LCD screen that can be switched to an extra-low power
reflective monochrome mode for reading ebooks.
- limited memory, flash storage and no hard drive like a PDA
- several USB ports
- accepts DC input voltages from 5 to 25 volts to recharge battery
- ships with a hand-crank power generator
