Lua and python don't really compare in my mind. Lua is much more of a glue language, i.e. extending the application via the C API. It is designed around extending application -- and itself.
My knowledge of Lua is limited, however, so could you elaborate on the comparison criteria? I mean I wouldn't personally compare Python and Javascript. To be honest I wouldn't compare Javascript with anything.
Python's design is around readability. It is interpreted, while Lua runs via a VM. I guess they are both extensible, although I don't have Lua experience in this area to compare. Would you care to add a bit more information?
