Awesome Python

I am totally impressed by Python. Yesterday I suceeded to make a quick and dirty application to talk to Excel via win32com.client and perform some ccomputations inside Python and put the results back in Excel. It worked like a bliss. In less than 120 lines of code I did much of the job it would have taken me more than two days otherwise.

I have recently tried to work with COM objects in Java and I must say it was a painful job. From this point of view I think Python is excellent.
I am also thinking to use PsyCo to improve the speed of the code and maybe to make a small wrapping GUI over the application.

Bonus for me: http://pysonic.sf.net - a cool wrapper over the excellent fmod library (http://www.fmod.org)

Because I was talking about Python I must say that I have also seen a nice Ruby project called RubyOnRails. I is very nice indeed.
