I have to say, having been forced into writing my web service in Python so I can host it on Google* AppEngine, I am finding it to be a Not Bad Language. It's pleasingly terse, acceptably object-oriented and has decent LINQ-ish constructs. I'm still not sure about indentation-as-block-definition, although it does mean that there are fewer dead lines in the code.
Only thing I'm having trouble with is forgetting to put colons at the end of flow-control lines.
AppEngine itself is pretty good, too.
