No - you even get two implementations of it. There's C Python (regular 
Python written in C) and Jython (was J Python) which is Python 
implemented in Java. I've got Python running (well, loaded but not doing 
anything yet) on our box and you get a shell rather like the REXX 
console/interpreter to work with.

Some links if you're interested: 

o  There's a mailing list - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JythonAS400/
(very low traffic only 15 posts or so last year which seems to cover both 
variants) 
o  Python 2.2.2 - http://home.no.net/pgummeda/
o  Jython - http://www.jython.org/
