Yep, it would be. Then again, Mark Hammond has already done a bunch of work for pyXPCOM, so getting Python compiled right into Firefox itself shouldn't be too bad.

Of course, that's the road Sun first went down with Java, and that turned out not-so-well for them. I think the plug-in approach may be stronger (but admittedly more limited), as lots of plug-ins work with many different browsers, thus encouraging page designers to actually use them.
