I believe more scientists are happy programming in Python than Perl. 
Python reads like 'executable pseudocode'.  It is, I believe, easier for 
most people to read and understand than Perl.

Rather than explain further, I suggest that you visit python.org and 
read some of the tutorial to see what *you* think.
