It would seem a python is in order, should it be a separate tag or alias for scripting?
Also, should python or python-api have different versions, or that would be irrelevant?

2$\begingroup$ With regards to versioning, the important differences between Python 2 and 3 would be rare enough that we shouldn't need distinct tags. Just specify which one in the question if necessary. $\endgroup$– El'endia StarmanCommented May 24, 2013 at 4:03

Python is the only scripting language used in Blender, any questions related to it can stay under python as they might extend past the api and into the language a bit, say something like 'stringifying' an object str(obj) for use in the gui, no need to start derivations. Let's try and keep everything as clean as possible.
As mentioned below scripting already exists, but keep in mind that Python based questions could be allowed to a degree as it relates to general Blender excluding scripting.
Examples..
- Do I need to download and install Python before using Blender?
- What version of Python does Blender use and how can I tell?

$\begingroup$ @JNF python usage questions can be asked that don't directly relate to scripting but do relate to Blender. $\endgroup$– iKlsRCommented May 23, 2013 at 19:06

$\begingroup$ So you're saying two separate tags are in order? $\endgroup$– JNFCommented May 23, 2013 at 19:09

$\begingroup$ @JNF quite possibly, I have edited it into the answer. $\endgroup$– iKlsRCommented May 23, 2013 at 19:10

$\begingroup$ Thank you. That wasn't clear from the previous version of your answer. $\endgroup$– JNFCommented May 23, 2013 at 19:17

I think it would make sense to have separate tags at least for python-2.x and python-3.x to keep compatibility straight. These two versions of Python are not perfectly compatible, and if either the OP or the answerer ever wants to include a code snippet, it could be useful to have these tags.
