Hello. Perl seems to dominate the 
chem(bio)-informatical sciences these
days. An example of such dominance is
descibed on papers describing the BioPerl consortium
http://bio.perl.org (see, e.g., an article in 
http://www.bitsjournal.com
Bioperl:Standard perl modules for bioinformatics)...
The question is why...why has python been neglected
from its role in the informatics fields....

Your responses would be appreciated...Iraj.
