That's five. Here's five more: * No variable declarations - keep your code simple * An *extensive* standard library * comp.lang.python / python-list, Python help 24/7! * Active development and constant improvements * Strong OS/platform support (many Linuxes have at least some version of Python either already installed or in the standard repository; Windows and Mac OS have ready-to-go binaries available on python.org; there are Pythons for various mobile platforms; even relative obscurities like OS/2 have their ports) Hmm. Side point regarding OS/2: I notice that http://www.python.org/getit/other/ points to a port of 2.4.4, but Paul Smedley has a port of 2.7.2: http://smedley.id.au/os2ports_new/index.php?page=python - what's the appropriate way to get that mentioned?
