I'm using Python for ASP too, it seems to work fine except for a couple of annoyances.

The "dictionaries" in ASP, Request, Response, Session and so on doesn't work with the 
familiar Python dictionary syntax ['key'] and you can't assign to them like you can in 
VB.

I can't get the Active Scripting Debugging to work properly with Python. Neither the 
Script Debugger nor Visual Interdev.

I can't get the global.asa file to work with Python, my naive assumption would be that 
the following would do the trick:
<script language="Python" runat="Server">
def Application_OnStart():
    # do stuff

</script>

But I get error messages from the Python ActiveScript engine saying I have indentation 
errors.

Anybody know if :
these issues are being worked on
there is a workaround (I know the workaround to the "dictionary" objects in ASP)
I am doing something stupid.

By the way a benchmark I was running suggested that Python under ActiveScripting was 
extremely slow, about 100 times slower than JScript or VBScript, this was certainly 
not uplifting news.
