My obvious thinking is : Java being compiled language , must be faster then a interpreted language.

I know couple of points : Development time is less + easy to learn + python is expressive.

Can you share some more especially as compared to Java / .net (two primarily used languages in enterprise language & web based applications)

I would suggest reading `Python is not Java` [1] and `Java is not Python, either` [2], old but good reads. And then ask what is your focus for development. Better is extremely subjective and can be liable to induce flame-wars, although this list is quite friendly.

To me, I started using Python as a glue language, controlling process flows and the like, with still heavy uses of C and PL/SQL for what I do. Over time Python has taken center-stage for my projects due to ease-of-use and rapid application development and only moving time critical work that "needs" to be faster to C but in most cases that is not needed for me anymore.

Add to that the great work on PyPy [3] which is extremely efficient, I hardly ever have to write in another language if I don't wish.
