There was 3 reasons for python success : it's easiness, it's price and the most important the number of libraries

  What do you mean by "price"? The language and its interpreter are free, but so are most languages from its time, so what are you referring to exactly?

    That's the point of the joke. If it had cost money, it would never have become as popular.

    yeah I mean the price of 0$/€/any currency. And not all languages were free, especially one of the main place where python encountered first the success that made it so big was in the universities and in research, were software like matlab, mathematica, IDL or maple were (very expensive) kings before.
