Comprare to some very interesting languages (Haskell, Erlang, Scala) Python is more widely available and allows you to produce good, portable, well-performing code quickly and easily. Scala code compiles to Java bytecode, and performs comparably to Java code. It's just as portable and performant as Java, which means very portable and fairly performant.
