I have programmed in perl and python. Python seems much more easier to code
in. It will be nice to see
python receive  wide acceptance just as perl has. It suppports a good foreign
function interface
ie you can call C++,and Java (under Jpython). It is an OO language and
supports polymorphism,overloading and inheritance.
You will need a good editor as python is sensitive about the tabbing in your
source code ie the syntax is
based on the indentation of statements .  This is a difference from the usual
env but leads to
prettier and easy to read code ;-)
Emacs with its python mode works great. Incidentally some of the RH GUI's are
written using python
