that's one of the questions that is good for a flamewar :-O
anyway here some answers biased towards python:
Python programms are shorter.
The Debug Cycle is shorter.
You can allways try out things interactively.
Python is FUN programming.
Here are some nice slides that illustrate some differences (PPT):

(from http://www.mindview.net/Books/Python/ThinkingInPython.html)
Anyway you might have a look at www.jython.org. its python implemented
in java. you can access all java classes from within python (and vice
versa). you can e.g. programm a swing or awt gui with python, its
realy cool.
