Actually, I think their problem with python is that they are scared to invest in learning it and not be able to use it for future projects.
I don't think there's much investment required to "learn Python". Any techie worthy of the name should be able to pick it up in a matter of hours or at most a couple of days. That's the beauty of Python - it is simple, but powerful. Typically we allocate a day for students (even straight from school) to learn enough Python to start working on projects. I really wouldn't worry about the investment required to learn Python. The Zope learning curve used to be quite steep, I know there's been lots of work done to make it easier, but I haven't taken anyone through it recently to know what its like now.
