Some yes, some no. But mostly the selling point for Python is that there is a standard (PEP 8) and everyone (seems to) use it and it's easy to know what modules to use because Python comes batteries included. Directly answering your questions: Python is growing a testing culture from what I've seen and the Python guys at my work are good with writing tests. Don't know much about the actual infrastructure though. My Python-Fu is in its infancy for the most part. Python really doesn't need a perltidy since their rules are mostly enforced by the significant leading whitespace. Python doesn't have a Perl::Critic kinda thing that I'm aware of but we're not using that at work (yet) so it's a non-issue. Besides which, running Perl::Critic on old code is going to dishearten folk, not make them happier. It'd make me happier. That being said, the lack of use strict I see as a really bad thing not to have. One Pythonista told me today that it's a non-issue for him because he writes his code in Netbeans which highlights such things. In the end, it's PEP 8 and the "clean syntax" that's winning hearts and minds.
