FWIW, I don't see anything wrong with that in general.
I'd rather avoid the use of Python as a requirement for building Emacs
(not because of Python itself, but so as to avoid adding
yet-another-build-dependency), but IIUC the above script is not needed to
build Emacs, so it's OK.

True to some extent (languages like Perl, Python, Ruby, JS, ... are
sufficiently similar to other languages that it's pretty easy to pick up
such a new language when needed, so "cannot be maintained" is a bit
pessimistic).
Tho here as well, Python is not some random pet language, so I think we
can decide that it's OK.
