Based on this this and this, it sounds like the direction GNOME is heading is "C/C++ core plus embeddable language". Python isn't a good embeddable language from their perspective because it comes with its own expansive set of libraries, whereas they want the embedded language to use GNOME libraries through GObject Introspection. Javascript, Guile, Lua, and Tcl are all mentioned as potentially good embeddable languages.
