Happened across this just now and thought it somewhat interesting:

http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/04/08/12/1721239.shtml?tid=156&tid=218

The commentary seems to be pretty representative of perceptions and
barriers to Python acceptance so I thought it worth posting here.

Also, I think I'm seeing more well-thought-out positive comments and less
of the usual "whitespace=yuck" nonsense than in past Python related
slashdot posts.  This might indicate more slashdotters have tried Python
on a non-trivial task.
