You mean python cons where you say TCL cons at one point. Having learned python, you get used to the indentation very fast. I wouldn't list it as a big con. You get very readable code as a result as well. Its debatable.
Another Pro is I can do more than sit on the sidelines and listen to this mailing list with python. I was about to start writing my own python msn client, but I'll help this one instead if that language is picked.
