Using Python instead of...

[D-Man]

If you are considering using Java, I think that Python would be better
suited.  I have a fair amount of Java experience (rapidly increasing
as I use Java in my present employment) and feel that python far
exceeds Java in ability and ease of use.

Perhaps showing your boss the "Python in Industry" thread will help in
altering his "mainstream" view?

PS.  I have never used VB, but I have heard that it tends not to have
good structure and doesn't have decent OO support.
