Capstone Project - Room for Python?

[QueenBee]

I apologize for the delay in my response but I realized I needed to educate myself a bit more on Python. So I took a beginner Python course online and had a great time. Nothing fancy, just the basics. Glad I took it. Now back to this subject, after taking the course I'm still not sure how Python would be a better option for data manipulation/data loading than using a combination of SQL (SQL Loader primarily) and perl scripting. It seems like it would be an option if I knew it better or knew it first but I guess I'm looking for a little guidance strategically where Python would be a better option.

Thanks all.
