Ease of develpment. I write everything I can in python. If I can't do it in 
python, I throw a fit and find a way to do it in python. :) I developed in 
assembly, C, C++, Prolog and Delphi. Python has been by far the easiest to 
develop in. Some people might say it is not "real programming" because it is 
so easy. Whatever. If you wan't real programming, do it in assmebly. If you 
want to get a lot done while having a lot of fun doing it, do it in python.
