Ignoring the zealotry... (Score:1)

... the one point I would concede is that because Python is easy to embed, it may well be easier to integrate into some of those weird film animation programs.

While I don't know specifics, if their choices came down the raw c, python and say javascript, I'd probably pick Python too.

  I’d go for Javascript…

    I wouldn't. JavaScript is ok for a light dusting of scripting over the top of something, but it makes for a hideous language to get any real work done in.

      Really? I was quite delighted to find out how nice it really is when I dove into it in anger a few years ago. To me it feels like a cross of Perl and “something” (which I guess I’d know was Self, if I knew Self), trying to hide behind a C/Java-ish syntax.
      
      At least it has multiline/-statement closures…
