One thought I had, after reading the replies.  The technical reasons make
sense.  However, in reality, might there not be more Perl code running on
VMS than Python?  I know that on my personal servers I have a fair amount of
Perl, but then I've spent over 26 years with Perl as my primary language. 
My interest in Python is that I am now doing things that require it, so
being able to use it on VMS would be an advantage to me.
