1. Based on comments on c.l.py, the biggest legitimate fact-based (versus personal-taste-based) knock again Python versus, in particular, Perl is the lack of a CPAN-like facility. As I remember, there have even been a few people say something like "I like Python the language better that Perl, but I won't switch because I love CPAN even more."

when did anyone last say that? I thought Perl-to-Python migration flame wars was a Y2K thing?
