This will be the first year that Python will be allowed along side the traditional TopCoder languages (Java, C++, C#, and VB). I think it will be very interesting to see how Python, which more often than not get can get more done with less code and less time, will compare to the heavier languages like C#, C++, and Java. I wonder if Guido working at Google had anything to do with it?
Some of you might be interested in a recent Presentation / Screencast given by Kevin Dangoor (creator of the TurboGears Python web framework) given at this year's Pycon. Although he does talk a bit about TurboGears, most of the talk is tips and examples on how to add functionality using Ajax without confusing users.
Because our environment is designed and optimized for humans. By creating robots that resemble us (same actuators (hands), ability to understand and speak our language, see what we can see), then they already can operate in our environment.
There is also the idea of robot-human interaction: would you rather interact with Asimo or a spider?
