I know exactly what you mean. I had to convince a project manager once to use Python (in some small, out-of-the-way aspect of the project) and ended up by saying: 'If you were using foo.exe, created by VB6 (his preferred tool, and highly unsuitable for the job in hand), you'd put foo.exe doc.in doc.out". Using Python, you're simply adding one more parameter: "python.exe foo.py doc.in doc.out"' which at least convinced him enough to let me do it!
