Hi Jon,

What is the python script going to do?

If you just want to go straight to the installer you can use
'only-ubiquity' as boot option and you won't see a desktop.

You can also preseed ubiquity if you want to automate the whole install.

Sorry, not so familiar with UCK, perhaps someone else can answer that. I
tend to use live-helper for this sort of thing, which you could add a
small init script into the live chroot to get it to run a script upon boot.

Regards,

Tom
