Although Java might not be as easy as Python, but Java is a more powerful language.

Normally i'd restrain myself, but you're in the Python forum, so :p:
wtf!? More powerful? How? As in it runs on more systems? No it doesn't. As in it even runs with equal performance across systems? No it doesn't. As in it's an inflexible language that forces silly restraints (one class per file) and doesn't provide you with the ability to provide intuitive, logical APIs (operator overloading, multiple inheritance)? Yes.

and has wide applications
|
Having to work with Java on occasion, I find that it's range of quality third party extensions to be nothing on that of Python's, in both quantity or quality (batik being a notable exception, mind). The kind of "wide applications" that are created with Java are those that depend on such a large library.. I can comfortably package the Python interpreter with my files via py2exe and have an exe of a sane size.
