Batteries included or not, I can always find battery replacements in Python and that's what I love about it.

Do you want an excellent graph library? you have networkx. Do you need more speed? bind an existing C++ library with SWIG. If I want to use .NET or Java libraries there is IronPython and Jython. And you have two excellent IDEs: Visual Studio and PyCharm.

I agree that the breadth of high-quality python libraries is great... but in a language that believes

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it,"

it'd be nice if we weren't also looking for replacements for the standard library.
