I've used Python for everything I've done so far at Justin.tv (next week I'm learning ruby so that I can start doing web stuff too). Just my opinion of course but I'd say while Python has some excellent libraries, the language itself feels quite poorly thought-out compared to something like Common Lisp. It could be worse, but it certainly could be a lot better.

Of course... I haven't programmed in Lisp so much, so it makes me miss Haskell. But anyway, it's a very interesting language.

it's less profound, but MUCH easier to read without training. the 'pick up and go' factor is pretty high.
