I have no significant problems with Python, per se, but one of our
developers is doing desktop client development work in Python and we may be
switching a server, currently written in Perl, to Python.  In general, there
seems to be a bit of a Python Good, Perl Bad movement starting here at work.

We have plenty of Perl code lying around so it's not like we'll stop using
Perl and I have no problem learning Python, but if things keep going in
their current direction, there are going to be discussions about whether or
not all of our future development should be in Python.  The desktop
developer loathes Perl with a passion and would love to see it go away.

Does anyone know Python well enough to offer comments about whether or not
this is a reasonable move?  I *love* Perl and don't want to toss it out of
my company's toolbox.
