Why should i use python if i can use java

[Chris Goringe]

I'm just completing my first significatn project in python (previously
worked in Java). Productivity gain in python has been significant.
However, python doesn't

strong typing (love it or hate it...)
interfaces (ditto)
an elegant way of implementing singletons (or does it? anyone?)
a comparable development and debugging environment to JBuilder

but most of all, it doesn't have

J2EE
J2ME

So it still lags Java for seriously scalable enterprise solutions and
for portable device deployment.
