Heh - language problem. At first I read "almost fit for" as
"almost satisfactory for". Looking at the link and your next
comment I think you meant "is almost a perfect fit for".

Yes, I've done a lot of "inquisitive computing" in Python -
it's excellent for that sort of thing.

If you look at the end of the article you see the author
agrees (I don't quite follow his complaint about not feeling
at home with the interactive mode, but it's funny to read about
how he uses Lisp but realizes he's not going to talk people
into that...)
