Java vs. Python - a fairly well-made comparison between Java and Python. Attempts to address all aspects. Actually, I only have two points of criticism:
Regarding remote methods and distributed programs, it is stated that Python would not provide anything by default. That's not correct, though - it comes with xmlrpclib, a module that makes it very easy to create servers and clients for XML-RPC calls. This is also used internally in the Python Community Server.
As a counterpart to the servlet architecture, only Zope is referenced, not the numerous servlet-like programs available for Python. Medusa is certainly one possible example of a very efficient server environment, but also Python Server Pages or Quixote provide quite a lot in that regard. And there is mod_python - admittedly not as widespread as mod_perl, but that will certainly come.
But overall still a fairly good comparison, and many of the points that make me prefer Python to Java are addressed.
