The proof is in the pudding, as it were; there are several /very/
large programming projects in the business community (including my
own) which are Python Powered; I've certainly found maintainance
/easier/ in Python than in strongly-typed languages; a type-error will
typically be found in testing (which is far easier to do bit by bit as
you go with the interpreter than the usual compile-run-edit cycle)
rather than when the program is deployed.
