Presuming that he meant CPython, one other good reason for wanting to stick with it rather than jump to another interpreter is all the new features of the recent versions. (Do Jython or IronPython support Python 3.x at all, even?) Every new release of CPython has new and cool features, and the other Pythons are generally playing catch-up.
