Lua documentation, Python, etc.

["Your Name" <public@...>]

I've dabbled very lightly with Lua, and right now I need to bite the 
bullet and switch to a 100% script driven game architecture.  My first 
inclination is that Lua is the way to go, but because of my lack of 
experience with Lua and the lack of complete documentation, I'm nervous 
as hell going in that direction.

Python is the obvious alternative, but part of me feels like that would 
almost be a step backwards.  Python's big advantage is that it's so 
huge and popular that getting support (books, packages, etc.) is 
trivial.

I don't want a flame fest on the issue, but would appreciate comments 
on pros and cons of the two different languages for those that have 
used both, because once I make this decision, I'm kinda committed =|

Thanks,

Brian
