Python being the poorer choice because it is not designed to be an extension (scripting) language.
Well somebody needs to tell CCP of Eve-Online they're doing it wrong, same goes for Stackless Python project, and the authors who wrote the official Python documentation that they were wrong to document Embedding Python in Another Application. Because batrick on Slashdot said it wasn't designed for that...
If you go back to the history of Python you'll see that it wasn't originally designed with embedding in mind. As a consequence, many of its features and choices make it very difficult to do [1]. Keep drinking the Koolaid. If you hammer on a screw enough times, it will eventually sink into the wood.
