The main advantage is Python's cleanliness. In Perl, there are so many different ways of writing a thing, that to be adept in perl, you have to know them all, otherwise you won't be able to read another person's code. Python and Perl accomplish similar things, but have strikingly different design philosophies. Perl's design philosophy is the kitchen sink: throw it all in. Python's is, "let's keep this simple." We add things carefully, and with great deliberation, or not at all. As a consequence, Python is far easier to learn than Perl. This has non-trivial consequences on your enterprise operations. For example, getting new engineers up to speed on the old code base is a great deal easier. C// -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
