I don't mean to start a flame war, but a productive debate will be wonderful. I have been writing heavy applications in java for a few years untill recent past. My experience is that python is not just fast but also zippy and smooth when it comes to running the applications.
Infact I have a couple of softwares which were re coded in python for this very reason. So I would like to know real facts on this arguement. Let me mention that out of these 2 apps one is a distributed application with an rpc layer and other is a normal back and front end database driven software. both have heavy load on them and do a lot of number crunching and complex calculations. happy hacking.
