bundle non-C/C++ plugins with the python core code about editorconfig HOT 6 OPEN

This is a good idea if a Python interpreter is already installed. However, installing a Python interpreter just to use a plugin seems like more of a hassle than installing the C core.

I think this is a good idea for Gedit and Vim because it is implied that the user has a Python interpreter for use with those two plugins. I'm not sure about Emacs and jEdit plugins.

We just bundle the script, and the python script could be used if a python interpreter is present. But I believe we should use the C core (except vim and gedit) if the c executable is found.

Just like this, we could find an external python interp for a editor that does not support a built-in one. If a C core is missing and a python interp is found, we could take advantage of the python version, so user would feel more comfortable about the installation, since most Linux users have python installed by default.

That could work well. Maybe for now we should look for editorconfig.py in addition to editorconfig in case they prefer install a Python package.

I don't think we should be too concerned with bundling the Python version with all of the plugins yet though. Our current solution works reasonably (even if it's not ideal) and for all I know there are currently no users of the jEdit or emacs plugins.

If a python version is bundled, users would be more likely to use EditorConfig with Emacs (and also jEdit, but I think emacs is more concerning).

OT: Maybe we should consider add the Emacs plugin to this site and this one

Done for vim.
