It doesn't appear to be.  Looking around, there seemed to be more Java
than anything else.  Even if we were to move to tigis.org (which we're
not), it would be a folly to re-implement lxr in Python.  Whether or not
people prefer perl or python, there's lots of code for lxr and it's in
perl, so perl it will stay :-)

Of course, what we *really* need is a common object system so you can
mix and match perl, python, java, c/c++ etc.....
