I agree. This is why, while I love knowing and messing around with other languages, I generally stick with Python unless I have a demonstrably good reason not to. (For web stuff specifically, Django is still my go-to.) One good reason not to: I wanted to build something that cross-compiled to a single binary which could run on all major platforms, and benefited from a particularly heavy in-memory data structure so as not to burn through people's hard drives unnecessarily (though not much else). In that case I reached for Go, and ended up with https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/tsk https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/tsk powered by a big fat trie under the hood. Obviously tries aren't exactly groundbreaking technology, but Python's memory footprint would have made me uncomfortable, even if I did figure out how to ship it as a py2exe.
