The dialog system shown in that screencast provides a CLI interface,  
meaning that it is fully usable from Python, since Python can run  
shell commands.

Main reaosn we tend to stay away from Python for TextMate commands is  
that the interpreter has a slow startup time on a cold cache, this is  
very noticable when typing away and some editing operation takes half  
a second because the Python interpreter has to load all its imports or  
whatever it is doing.
