I think I agree. I'm still stumbling with Python, but haven't hit a 
showstopper yet. *And* I'm very pleasantly surprised at the ease of using 
the DB API and with the execution speed of PyQt. Not to mention the 
learning resources, and the community in general. 

With Python, I feel like a free man again!
