I use Python all the time at work, and the more I use it the more I like it.
There are definitely still things that are easier in Perl, but broadly speaking, they're not usually things you need to do. Or rather, they're things that should probably done more cleanly and Python does that.
The one thing that's pretty fantastic is that you don't really have to think about references vs. not. Lists are always lists, you only have one way to create them, use them, and pass them around. Same with most things in Python.
Also, this post was pretty awesome overall. Bullet point updates!
