Years ago when I was switching from Perl to something else (I ended up on PHP mainly, and others where needed), I did look at Python but documentation was something that seemed lacking at that time. It just made me think at that point that Python wasn't going to be easy to find answers for when I run into problems. Sad to see that hasn't changed yet, it's been about 7 years since I really looked at it, and has gained some huge traction recently too.
