Theoretically, one could code stuff in Python and generate the C++ equivalent using tinypy2c++ or Shed Skin.
See, a python to c++ convertor:

TinyPy is a minimalist 64k version of Python
This could be made as part of the MoSync environment or you could convert it yourself and then put it in your MoSync project.
Just throwing the idea out there.
Really cool ideas! Thanks for the links. I will check these things out as they look really promising.
You should also check out this python interpreter https://github.com/MoSync/MoSync. It has a MoSync port made by a guy called Oscar Lindberg.

+1 :)
So it seems Python is popular :-)
Theoretically anyone could build the python interface to mosync because it's open source, but I think MoSync themselves probably have a better knowledge of the system and the scope.
Forgot to add a link to http://www.tinypy.org
Is there any possibility of Python being introduced to MoSync?
I've just had a go with Cython on the desktop and it seems to work really well.
So, I was taking a break poking around with tinypy. After about 30 minutes, I gave up. It kinda requires python to make, and it didn't look too hard, but I was wondering if there was a tiny python port which would be easier to do, and I found http://www.pythononachip.org. So I download the source and start poking around, only this time, I'm a bit smarter, and I read the 'readme' first.
Which is where I found this line:

My personal thanks go out to these people for their recent contribution to p14p:
- Oscar Lindberg: Porting p14p to the MoSync platform.
Err, Oscar, where are you dude? Where's your MoSync Python port?
Hi ,
I think adding python support in official MoSync distribution is a grate addition especially for developer not very familiar with C++ or came from java background like my self :) .
For http://www.pythononachip.org it does not support the full API
The ma.py contains many of the maapi functions and definitions. So far almost
all of the graphics and most of the basic events are supported.
