As does Java, in several incarnations, the latest being SOA.

Based on my modest knowledge of Python, Ruby, etc. I'd surmise they are good 
for non-critical programming systems, by which I do NOT mean they are at all 
incapable, but rather that if the system isn't critical enough for you to be 
worried about the details, python especially would be a good language - it 
appears clean and easy to work with.

If you are worried about controlling the details or have requirements that you 
are concerned about (e.g. "it must be able to..."), then you would have a 
basis for looking into the details of each language and making your decision 
based on what you find.

I know Java is capable of very heavy-duty network transactions, but don't know 
much about the corresponding capabilities of Python or Ruby.

Cheers,
Bret
