Well, shit, you're fired from the Lua Wiki then =P

True.  Or use Ruby (if it wasn't so slow).  I worry about performance 
though, especially if I have, say, > 1000 simultaneous connected users 
(not a problem right now, but I want to be scalable).

My biggest thing is that I just don't know Python, but I kinda 
half-ass know Lua.  Although I've now had several people say I should 
invert the relationship and just write it all in a scripting language.

When Python/Whatever have a complete integrated development 
environment, I'll maybe bite =)

Actually, I'm curious why there is no Python Studio commercially...
