I think I have an over-abundance of editors now, so I'll take a raincheck on 
this one for now, but you raise an interesting question abouy Python allergy.

I have been somewhat allergic to Python, for a totally irrational reason that 
has to do with all those Monty Python examples hijacking my youth (visiting 
American friends, circa 1969: "Is this supposed to be _funny_?"  Same friends 
being visited a few years later: "Hey there's this great new Brit TV 
show..."!)

I decided a long time ago that life was much to short to work in C, and I've 
used and liked Perl for years because its quick and dirty style suits me but 
I always felt a bit queasy about it with users.  So I learned Ruby, rather 
than Python, for when I wanted to be a bit more formal.  Would somebody like 
to try to convince me to add Python to my armoury as well, or would that be 
overkill?  What if anything is Python good at that Perl and/or Ruby aren't?
