I was pleasantly surprised to find a pointer to this article in a news digest that the ACM emails me regularly (ACM TechNews).

One thing that bugs me: the article says 3 or 4 times that Python is slow, each time with a refutation ("but it's so flexible", "but it's fast enough") but still, they sure seem to harp on the point. This is a PR issue that Python needs to fight -- any ideas?
I think that right now there is a promising ongoing happening that
may be useful for this PR problem and Python perception in general,
which is the Chandler project, because it's a piece of software that may end up in front of lot of people. It is both an opportunity and a risk.
A not great success of Chandler especially if imputed to Python shortcomings would be bad.
I think that people with long-time Python experience that feel like to contribute should try.
A successful, responsive Chandler, I think, would be a good thing for Python.
