Looks good to me. I think Python is actually in the top 5 languages now, isn't it? Maybe Perl is 5 and Python is 6?
In any case, my only suggestion is to emphasize the point that *you* needed an alternative to the M's by pointing out somehow that (a) the others are propritary and therefore not sufficiently customizable, (b) your field of speciality (modular abelian varieties) is an extremely technical mixture of a number of areas (algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, group theory) and *therefore* you needed your software to smoothly combine and interface computations in these different fields. Bad sentence construction, I know, but that's my 2 cents.
