I've done a bit of Blender Python scripting, and it's a bloody pain. The API is very much an afterthought, and it can't be much used by anyone. As an example, function calls in your script do different things based on which part of the UI has mouse focus. It's very easy to make loops eat all your RAM, hang everything for a few minutes and then segfault. I've even had it crash my X session. And the built-in IDE is crap. /rant
