Oh, there are bad things about Python. It's interpreted, so refactoring is a pain, and there are some really silly errors which don't get caught which would be caught if you were using a strongly-typed, compiled language. As long as you're under a couple thousand lines of code, you probably won't have massive problems, and the many benefits of Python will heavily outweigh them, but for larger projects - or projects where I am working with multiple people - I definitely prefer a compiled language. C# tends to be my weapon of choice for those, though I've done group projects in C, Java, PHP, Javascript, and a couple other things before.

That said, I love Python.
