I do think that Python is the best language, but I've worked with some truly terrible languages, so I'm not going to spend any time trying to convince someone that we should use it on a program. All I ask from a programming language is a type system, arrays, functions, and scoping. Some sort of notion of class/class methods is nice, as is a few hash/set-type containers to supplement the default array container. Having done "high-level" programming in languages that had none of these features, I'm pretty content with whatever is handed to me to work with.
