Strange ... from what I see Python seems to have a pretty good overall
reception.  I'm not trying to advocate it (in fact, I can't even claim I
know the language) but I do remember the feeling of joy when I first
checked it out not so long ago.  May I know the cause of your negative
feelings toward Python?

I'm trying to overcome my negative emotional reactions against languages
or major libraries.  I positively dislike things like Pascal or DirectX
and I'm far from excited as far as Lisp is concerned, but, after all, if
they allow me to do what I need to do ... I mean, WTF, they are just
languages. ;-)
