the GUI is one thing; transforming data *in general* with python isn't
going to fit into a low latency engine.

now, of course, if you mean "performing edits to high level data
structures", which you might, then there isn't really a problem
(though you'll likely want to get into RCU to manage things). but if
you are talking about DSP processing with python plugins, i *doubt*
that it will work reliably.
