I'm glad you qualified this with 2/5/whatever. Usually people say #2 in everything, which is of course wrong.
Python more like #100 in terms of speed, #100 in terms of correctness, #100 in terms of sound abstractions, #10 in terms of readability for large programs. Its real strengths are quick hacks and a decent C-API.
The community is smug, conceited, does not value correctness and in general is intoxicated by Python's undeserved success. Many posers and incompetent people.
