I disagree. The extra time Python takes to start makes it unsuitable for many uses. For example, if you write a simple text editor then Pythons longer startup time might be to much.You must be in a real big hurry if half a second matters that much to you. Maybe if it took 5 seconds for the interpreter to start up, I could understand having a problem with the start up time.
The secret is to start Python at least a second before one is actually ready to start.
