Thanks; a quick read of your reference to Norvig's analysis http://norvig.com/python-lisp.html seems to show that Python is a cut down (no macros) version of Lisp with a worse performance. The only substantial advantage I can see is that GUI, and Web libraries are standard. This confirms my suspicion that Lisp is losing out to newbies because of its lack of standard support for the things many people want to do.
