Python vs. Tcl?

Hi!

Not to start another language debate, but any thoughts on
using Python as the scripting language?  There are already
ObjC-Python interfaces in place (ftp://ftp.thoughtport.com/...),
it's arguably easier to read, and it has more datatypes than
string.  It also interfaces to Tcl/Tk reasonably well (people
coding in python often use Tk for UI), so it wouldn't necessarily
mean ripping out any old code.

The source for all Python knowledge is http://www.python.org,
including a nice paper from the Alice project comparing Python
and Tcl as scripting languages for their VR project.

Cheers,
