Python versus Perl ?

[snacktime]

I just recently picked up Python after using perl almost exclusively
for the last 8 years, and the above mentioned article by Eric Raymond
echos my feelings almost exactly.

The one drawback coming from the perl world is that you don't have as
many options when it comes stuff like application frameworks, and some
of the third party modules just aren't as well tested not having the
huge user base that perl does.  I end up spending a bit more time
searching for different libraries than I did in perl, but beyond that
I think python is better overall.
