&gt; What are advantages of Python over C#?<p>Well, a major one that comes to mind (and may change as things progress) is application portability. The open CLR project hasn&#x27;t gotten far enough yet to truly be cross-platform capable.<p>It&#x27;s also smaller in weight and baggage, some argue faster to prototype&#x2F;develop-in, community driven (no decade of a single company&#x27;s inner departments fighting over features and behaviors), it wasn&#x27;t born out of NIH syndrome, etc...<p>In a lot of ways, it is a lot more attractive than C# will ever be.
