Hi Victor,
      As you know the IDV uses the Jython for creating formulas, it doesn't 
support any other (script) language. Jython is a very powerful script language 
and not very difficult to learn. I will encourage you to do so. One advantage 
of using Jython formula is that the locally created formulas can be used to 
create an IDV plugin and install in other machine for sharing. Let us know if 
you need more help.
