For me, the siren call of Python was the supposed "elegance" (executable pseudo code!). But then you have these horrible non-composing list comprehensions (compared to say Ruby where the chain just flows from left to right instead of getting more and more nested), and that god awful "self" and "__init__" cruft. It just seems like a poorly designed (and/or evolved?) language.

It'd be nice if something else would carry the torch for nice AI library wrapper language...that alone is the only thing that can tempt me touch it.
