Python vs. VB

[Roy Stephan]

My company is mostly a VB shop.  Web Development has gotten away with
Perl in a corner but we are now being urged to move to ASP.  I am
pushing for PerlScript interfacing heavily with COM.  

I would like the COM objects to be implimented in Python rather than
VB.  

I was wondering if people on this list could provide me with some
amunition against the managment onslaught that will surely ensue in
favour of all things Microsoft.  

Are there any existing comparisons/benchmarks?  Is there anyone out
there who has won a similar battle?

Thank you for your time.
