Not sure I understand the logic on the “good fit” front.

The biggest challenge for most RPGers making the switch is generally the OO aspect. That’s is why PHP has worked for many - because you can write procedurally while exploiting objects written by others. Admittedly I have not (yet) studied Python in depth, but everything I have seen to date tells me that it is even more strongly OO than Java.

As one who struggles with the OO mindset, I do agree with this! Having
said that, the Python I write is quite procedural.

I’m interested as to why you two think it works better than (say) Java.

Java has these 3 issues that Python hasn't got:
CLASSPATH
Edit / compile / jar / deploy (vs interpreted)
Hierarchical folder structure (demands IDE vs simple text editor)
