For me a language is a language for the most part, doesn't matter...
Python is a language I choose for any of several reasons:
0.) It is easy to setup dependent packages on both BSD, Linux, and
Windows
1.) Most important things already have a Python binding somewhere
2.) Working in Python is fun
3.) Python scripts are more portable between OSes then compiled
executables.
I find that Python makes me very productive, and lets me worry more
about the engineering side of the art. However, I'm just as happy
using C or a portable subset of sh. Unless it means writing Swing
layouts by hand.
