  IMHO i think that in general Python is better than Java for many reason:

  1) Java - statically typed, all variable name must be explicitly declared

  1) Python - you never declare anything. An assignment statement binds a
name to
  an object, and the object can be of any type.

  2) Java - verbose, too many words than are necessary.

  2) Python - concise, clean-cut brevity.

  3) Java - not compact

  3) Python - Compact

  stupid example:

Java

  public class HelloWorld
  {
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        System.out.println("Hello, world!");
    }
  }

Python

  print "Hello, world"


  4)Python - You can create mixed list
  4)Java - You can't


  5) Java learning is not fast and easy
  5) Python learning is fast and easy also for newbie developers

There are other many advantages but it depends from what you want do.
