I don't need to "imitate" anything, it has already begun.

Blender is a nice freeware modeling program, and is great
for organic modeling, animations, photo realistic rendering,
game creation, and yes, exposes a Pyhton API -- but what is
your point? The Python scripting features have been a part
of Blender for many years, back when Python3 was just a
"innocent mis-folded programming protein" rotting holes in
the BDFL's pre-frontal cortex. The existence of Python3 in
the wild, is merely evidence that the original PrP has
replicated exponentially.
