The point is that toolchain for a crossplatform project must be
crossplatform too.

If we'll take Roundup as an example of such project - people would
expect that these tools will be written in Python to be able to update
and extend them. More than that - CLI script in Python can directly
use Roundup parts to do some tasks and its API can simplify unit
testing.
