Besides the projects ale lists there is also sk1, fonty python, ... is
also written completely in Python. AFAIK, a lot more (if not most)
libre graphics software uses Python for scripting or API: Blender,
Inkscape, Gimp, GEGL, Krita, ... Joao gave a talk
about this two years ago.

The fact that Python is used so widely in LGM rather than any other
scripting language should make it interesting for the PSF, not one or
two applications. What could help is to have a list of projects which
use Python and which need sponsoring for travel costs.

Best regards,
