We are currently moving from being a java-shop to a python-shop, because
of java's utter suckiness and because we wanted Zope and Plone.

I've been coding python for the last 6 months, and I am more competent a
Python programmer now than i ever was in C or Perl, even though I have
used those for many, many years.  The process of going from concept to
code is much easier, and refactoring is remarkably straightforward.

The thing about python that amazes me is the number of times now I write
20 or 30 lines of code, run it, and find no bugs.  If that happened in C
or Perl I was quite surprised - it didn't happen often.  In Python I've
rather got used to it.

I really can't say enough good things about Python.
