It is perfectly sensible if you are starting a project from scratch or have already built something purely in Python. For everyone else looking to host something already written in another language, it is a problem.

I'm sure Amazon doesn't mind though, they'll just continue to get all of this business.

Good point. For existing codebases it means porting code, which could be a pain.

I did just read that Python is just the first step, other languages will be supported soon. :)
