Is Python your only programming language?

[Ed Young]

I use python at home 95%.  I use C and perl at the office.
I'm working on the folks at the office to adopt Python.

C is great when you have to manipulate lots of bytes (find
all chars above dec(127) in a 690 meg file).  It's also 
good for cross platform utilities (MVS, UNIX, WinXX).

Perl is great for one liners, as a part of a pipeline (e.g.
analyzing log files).  It's also great for vi(ex) editing
with vim when it runs out of steam.

I prefer Python for all else (GUI, larger scope utilities, 
anything complex).

I've done a *lot* of programming over the past 32 years,
in many languages.  Python really is a better idea.

YMMV
