You just need to talk to more people, then. Lots of people don't like Python. Same for Perl, Ruby, or anything else. I've heard several devs say they don't like Python but I have yet to hear any of them actually give a reason. Ask them why they don't like C++ and you get a big list of everything that's wrong with it. Ask about Python and you get "it sucks" or "it's awful" or something. So I think it's just a matter of taste. Or maybe Henning has actual reasons. I haven't heard him talk about Python before so I don't know.
