i would use that as an argument.

 

tell him anything you write in python would be unsecure and buggy.

 

if he still wants python, head towards amazon and buy a book on it.

Bad move..

 

the only thing i can think of is increased development time due to a learning curve!

Just make up something. Your boss is obviously an idiot, so it won't matter what you say to him, it will all be in how you say it to him. Don't be argumentative.

 

Or, if it's far along, see if you can get him to take an answer like, "maybe after we do X", then never do it.

thanks alot for all comment

 

there is more fact i got from friend:

" several point there why python never had a chance against php :

Python's design is elegant and appeals to computer scientists (me too, I have a CS degree from Melbourne). PHP has a more pragmatic flavour that is probably appealing to web programmers. For example, in Python, $_GET and $_POST are implemented in libraries, and not within the language itself; the mentality of a computer scientist is to do things right, not provide shortcuts for the convenience of mere html hackers "

 

or as said before that must make something to proof php was rely on.
