I rather see it the other way round: Using and maintaining the Python 
program will be much easier and faster: Just run it, done. Most devs are 
likely using Linux anway where Python is preinstalled. Better than 
having to compile something first, probably need to change it due to 
false positives and compile again. Then compile own code etc.

+1 The static checker which can be run without any setup locally would 
therefore be a huge bonus.
