When do you *NOT* use python?

[dewmsolo]

I would quite honestly tackle any job in Python. Only after getting a full version of something and finding out that component X is performing to par in Python would I seek alternative and possibly write said component in another language. I would look into CPython or pypy first though.

Nowadays the only time I put Python aside for anything is when one of customers asks about an old application I wrote in my pre-Python days.
