I think CLisp and Python have different enough application areas, so
often where one is fit the other can't be much fit. Doing number
crunching or heavy processing, or lot of symbolic/pattern processing
with Python isn't positive (using Pyrex, Psyco, and numpy may help
solve a small part of such problems). If you want to do some kind of
html, text processing, and various other things Python may be a better
choice.
