Look at it this way -- you pick the best language tool to do the job at
hand.  If python is the better language for that job, you use python; if
it's perl, then you use perl; if it's some other language, you use _that_
language.  If you're asked to build a house, you certainly don't confine
yourself to a single tool -- you use the tools appropriate to the job you
have to do; why should it be different with scripting languages?
