I've been curious about Pyhon. It's become very popular But
most of where it's used seems to be to produce slow and bloated
"cross-platform" software without having to actually target platforms.

 How could it be otherwise? Anything you use has to be some
kind of inefficient wrapper. Since it's intepreted, API data types
will have to be handled. I've made a lot of VB DLLs where I
just convert variants from VBS to data types on the way in,
and convert them back on the way out. I'd consider that
cleaner and more efficient than most other options. With the
Perl option, for example, I think it involved something like:

x = DoSomething("param1", STR, param2, INT4)

  I don't remember the exact syntax, but it was more like
instructions than conversion. Very awkward unless really
necessary.
