Python positives.

1. Python's "Bracket Paradox": 

   Somehow manages to be the best "first language" and best "last
language" in the world. I'm basing this statement on how successful
Python is in Secondary education, etc (esp. in Europe). and the last
language statement on Bruce Eckel and Alex etc. (some of the top of
the top programmers on the world) that publicly went Python.

2. It's the best tool to support an endeavor were the participants
aren't pure software geeks: Huge in BioPython, NumericPython, jobs
that are science related, but not pure code, code, code, all the time.

3  By far and I mean by a ton, the best language to use, put down, and
then pick UP AGAIN. Shortest learning curve to get back up to speed on
the toolset, and the code you wrote to do the initial task.
