I believe you may be able to find an analysis on the www.python.org website
giving several links to comparison pages. The pluses for python (IMHO) are :
lends itself to more readable and thus more maintainable code; is easily
usable for programs involving data structures (thus more complicated
programs); has oo constructs from the start so they seem more natural than
Perl's additions. We didn't run into too many problems when converting our
test framework from Perl to Python.
