Red Hat is letting Novell's Mono software only into its noncommercial Fedora product line, the Linux seller said Tuesday. Red Hat has no plans at this time to include the Novell software in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, company spokeswoman Gillian Farquhar said, meaning that there are no plans right now to make it a standard part of the commercially supported product from the Linux leader.

I've heard a lot of people say that, but nobody seems to back the statement up? Why is Python inelligible for large scale software development?
All three languages are VM based. All three languages supported garbage collection. All three languages support OO paradigms, supposedly good for large scale development. Python goes even one step further by being multi-paradigm and liberal.
The only major difference between Python and the other VM based languages you mentioned is that Python is dynamically typed. And many developers even consider this to be a productivity boost or advantage over Java or Mono(C#).
So what makes Java/Mono better than Python for larger, more complicated applications? Is this a conclusion reached based on your experience?

Isn't Python already part of GNOME? My experience with Mono and Mono applications has not been rosey. I don't think Mono is as stable as Python for desktop application development. But perhaps my experience is skewed.
