I'm not really sure where you're coming from.

Python code tends to be quite maintainable if done reasonably well. In
fact the things I dislike about python are the lack of CPAN and the way
people will ignore your indentation choice, use tabs instead of your
mandated 4 spaces and thus make the python interpreter bork on your
script.

But maintainability, that's not a complaint I've ever heard of python.

Then again I guess it's all how it's written (and I've had to maintain
some awful code).
