Ok, I'll bite. What kind of OO-project are you thinking about? And what does "better" imply to you?

If you are venturing out with Python programmers to do a Python project, chose Python, that's better.
If you are venturing out with Perl programmers to do a Perl project, chose Perl, that's better then.

Since you asked this on Perl Monks, did you expect someone would tell you, Python was generally better than Perl?
