I know exactly what you mean. I had to convince
a project manager once to use Python (in some small,
out-of-the-way aspect of the project) and ended up by
saying: 'If you were using foo.exe, created by VB6 (his
preferred tool, and highly unsuitable for the job in hand), 
you'd put foo.exe doc.in doc.out". Using Python, you're simply
adding one more parameter: "python.exe foo.py doc.in doc.out"'
which at least convinced him enough to let me do it!
