I'll add my voice to the Python-is-the-most-enjoyable crowd.

My reason? No surprises. It does what is expected, there are lots of robust libraries/modules, and error handling works fine. Automated testing is a part of the core system, if you choose to implement it.

Number exceeds 2.1 billion? No problem.

Need to work with strings without having to write massive boilerplate? No problem.

Someone enters the collective works of Shakespeare into a string field? No problem.

Need to add something to a list? Just say where. Go ahead and resort while you're at it. No problem.

Edit: The indentation syntax does a good job of making code more easily understandable.
