A reason not to use Python: To avoid being identified as a kid that love language wars.
I motivated that with an example, which arguably is better than what I comment on. :-)
But seriously, the large majority of Perl articles on HN gets that kind of garbage. Give it a rest, please. At least don't show the world you lack better things to do.

And if you pick the wrong programming language, everything you've ever written in it will magically stop working. So you can see why it's worth getting upset over. Just the other day I found that my favorite color, green, is no longer the most popular. Everything green I owned then instantly turned orange. Now I am stuck looking at orange things all the time! It's tragic! And could surely have been avoided if I told everyone that green was better on web-based discussion forums.
