Hi all.
Recently we have added support for python and javascript in the list of supported scripting languages. This is part of the results of the Romulus project (http://www.ict-romulus.eu). With these additions now you can choose among 5 scripting languages to develop portlets (PHP, Ruby, Groovy, Python and Javascript).
A brief example on how to develop portlets was shown in another blog entry, and I have recently added a wiki entry to explain it in more detail ant to allow you to improve it.
Enjoy it!
