There is an important point, though. Recently I read complaints about the lack of backward compatibility in Python on the fedora-list (mailing list for users of Fedora Core). Somebody asked what language he should learn and people answered, don't learn Python because it changes too often in backward incompatible ways. They even suggested using that other P language because that was much more backward compatible.
