Talking to marketing people about Python

I'm working on a product which for a long time has had a Perl binding for 
our remote access API.  A while ago, I wrote a Python binding on my own, 
chatted it up a bit internally, and recently had a (large) customer enquire 
about getting access to it.

I asked for permission to distribute the Python binding, and after a few 
weeks of winding its way through the corporate bureaucracy I got an email 
from a product manager who wants to meet with me to "understand the market 
demand for Python API before we commercialize it".

Can anybody suggest some good material I can give to him which will help 
explain what Python is and why it's a good thing, in a way that a 
marketing/product management person will understand?
