It gives you a stacktrace if something is wrong. Exceptions are built-in.
Example:
Perl:
open FD "myfile.txt" || or die "Can't open file $!";
Python:
fd=open("myfile.txt")
If the file can't be opened, then you get a nice traceback.
If you are programming/debugging cgi with cgitb you can even get a HTML
page full of important information.
Example:

I have a page why I switched from perl to python, but it is in german:
http://www.thomas-guettler.de/vortraege/programmierung/einfuehrung.html#link_5
Objectoriented Programming in Perl is no fun. I switched from perl to
python because the emacs-perl mode was not able to understand all
those backslashed anymore (the code was correct).
