Maybe not, I am not sure. But at least you do not require freeciv coders

I am entirely against a solution which requires an additional prerequisite
to compiling freeciv, be it either perl or python.
The current system (packet_lsend.pl) uses perl, but does not add an additional prerequisite since the file is pre-generated and held in CVS.
It does seem inconsistent to me to use both perl and python for this, though. Just pick one and stick to it - it'll make the code much easier to maintain.
