I like Python a lot. That said, it looks like Perl's CPAN currently has approximately double the number of packages in the Cheeseshop. I'm guessing the CPAN is still growing, but I don't know how fast it is growing compared to the Cheeseshop. I won't venture a guess as to which has a higher percentage of older unmaintained packages. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
