Talking to marketing people about Python

[codefire]

Might be handy to point out that the Python version will be easier (and
therefore cheaper) to maintain compared to the Perl version. As someone
said there are numerous success stories at python.org.

You could also point him at :

Although Perl is higher than Python (by one place) you will noticed
that Perl activity is in sharp decline in contrast to Python's steady
growth.

I think Google also gives a pretty big endorsement of Python (as you
wanted the marketing angle).

Cheers,
