A few people are working on replacement firmware for the Prime (non-HP, of course). I'd gladly give up HPPL, CAS or both for a full Python interpreter.

Very nice if they succeed, I always respect the work of others. But I doubt a calculator is the best device to program in Python, it's slow and it's certainly hard to port some popular Python modules. I believe it's better to have integrated software and that basic Python-like syntax is sufficient on a calculator.
