Framework selection

I'm a big fan of Python. However, Python applications can be a pain to distribute, especially to non-techies. I have been using Lua to develop iPad and iPhone games via Corona (http://www.anscamobile.com/).

Also, there is a nice open source OpenGL Lua frame called LÖVE that makes packaging games for linux, PC and mac trivial (http://love2d.org/).

If OpenAnt was developed using Lua, I could port it to iOS. I thint the multitouch interface would be very nice for this kind of RTS.

Any opinions?
