I've never used Perl, but I know other c-like laguages, and I can tell you what I like about python:
- It is concise, clear and to the point. - No useless characters like curly braces and semicolons cluttering it syntax,. - Very readable and elegant. - One obvious way to do each task, not thousands (easier to learn, easier to remember), and this way is shorter, easier and more straightforward than any other. - Great built-in data structures. - And all of its features, but very specially, list comprehensions and slicing. I can't live without them! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
