I have quite a lot of (mostly enjoyable) experience writing Perl over the years, including some fairly big programs, and hardly any experience with Python (a language I dislike on instinct). But my experience with Perl has been that returning to my own projects is harder than it should be, and harder than in languages like C and C++. That is probably due to my own limitations, particularly when it comes to discipline, but it's empirically true in my case. The real assumption I made back there was that Python code is any easier to return to -- I haven't the experience to judge, really, I'm just going on hearsay from friends and acquaintances.
