For me, the choice is typically among C++, Perl, Python, and Java. The arguments for Python relative to these languages are: 1. Python's standard library includes a lot of functionality not in the C++ standard library. 2. Python's syntax is the cleanest of these languages. 3. I don't have to compile Python, so I can test changes much more quickly that with C++ or Java. 4. System calls made from Python are more likely to be portable among the platforms I use most (WindowsXP, AIX, Linux, and MacOSX) than system calls from C++. 5. Scripting is easier in Python than in Java, particularly with regard to environment variables and process control. Of course, these are only my opinions. I am particularly not an expert on Python or Java. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
