Python dev and prototyping time however amazingly faster and less frustrating. I recommend anybody avoid xml and use beautiful yaml whenever able. Both py and java can use just function or static method which won't create instance, very fast and no proof here you can't do everything in Java with static methods or likewise python withno classas, just functions. Example advance python phonetic algorithm, just a function, no class http://atomboy.isa-geek.com/plone/Members/acoil/programing/double-metaphone/metaphone.py/at_download/file or a snippet I posted in python than will be a mess in java, 23 rows in python refactorable to half http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1821/ good luck Niklas (montao.googlecode.com)
