God was the wrong word. But you have said Python is a beautiful language. Your view of the language contrasts greatly with that of RJF. It's not clear to me the best way to tackle something able to parse Mathematica. It is however very clear there are far more people know Python than Lisp, so use of Python is more attractive to more developers.
