I Reply: It's not quite that bad in Arkansas (USA), but when I was hired to help start a new IT department I insisted on using Python and my employer agreed to try it. I now have over 15,000 lines of code running in production and the CEO of the company says he has "six or seven" more projects for me to write (with huge cost saving potential for the company). We're running on GenToo Linux using a Postgres database and PHP for our web development. We've automated about 25% of our day to day business and are looking to expand! I've never had more fun writing code, and I've been writing code for over 20 years. Would it be possible to talk to your supervisor and convince them to allow you to use Python? Start small, with a little project. When you show them that Python "works" and that they will be able to understand the code, I'm guessing they will let you do more. Before you know it, you're coding everything in Python. Best of luck, --greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
