No need to worry about Python development...

As an example Greg Ewing made an observation about the relative (to
Ruby) difficulty of writing python extension in
http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&selm=an_543792249 .

Subsequently, Greg wrote Pyrex, a language specifically designed to
ease python extension development...
see (http://groups.google.com/groups?dq=&hl=en&group=comp.lang.python&safe=off&selm=mailman.1020946622.1316.clpa-moderators%40python.org)

so my perspective, based on the interest in python, is that the
language is strong because the people involved are strongly committed.
