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.
