The other quote I forgot to mention from:

http://www.python.org/community/users.html

"At one point Scott Hassan, one of the founders of Findmail/eGroups (the 
company that was later acquired by Yahoo), reported that they had 
180,000 lines of Python underlying everything from their 100% dynamic 
website to all email delivery, pumping out 200 messages/second on a 
single 400 MHz Pentium."

Alot of people "assume" Python is to slow for many tasks.  
It's always best not to assume.

OK, sorry everyone, that's enough Python talk for a year or so.
