There are times when this is an advantage for Python,
for it is a FAR superior "extension language" to Java
and C.  While many aspects of software engineering are
best seen at this point as matters of taste, Python's
superiority in this regard is, I argue, a matter of
objective record.

That's no guarantee of customer acceptance, of course.
