Anyone used Python for GPIB instrument control?

Hello all,

I am new to this ng and to Python.  I am wondering if anyone has used
Python to control a National Instruments GPIB card on a Windows NT box? 
I've searched and found a couple of references on my own.

A group at work is using Perl for this task and there is some pressure
to go along with them.  I've tried Perl, and frankly, assembly language
is clearer than Perl code to me.  However, Python passed my test as I
was able to do something with it in the first minute-  and I can
understand what most of the syntax means.

Thanks,  Rob.
