In my experience that says more about the person saying it than the 
application/language/OS that they are saying it about.

People get real work done in Python and have for many years so any claims 
it is a 'toy' is at best biased.

Disclaimer: I haven't done any coding in Python but it is on my list of 
things to learn.  I have a couple of projects in mind which Python may be 
suitable for.

I loved the Babbage quote.  I've had people ask me questions like that and 
I wish I had responded as well as Babbage did :)

Cheers,
