+1 for Python from me, even though until very recently I was a Tcl bigot.

As an example, it's been at the heart of Blender since the 2.5 rewrite
and it works very well indeed. It can be used to write in a functional
(to a certain extent) style as well as imperative and object-oriented
styles, and the string handling in the standard library is very
decent.

If there's a prototype/proof-of-principle that needs to be written in
Python, I'd be happy to contribute. If it's to be done in Perl, I'm
washing my hair that month ;)

Cheers
Gareth
