Glad they added .query() to Pandas in .13. In general I find the methods in Pandas/NumPy much more consistent with general programming constructs than most of what I see in R. No doubt Hadley has bolted on a lot of great functionality to R, but the Rcpp dependency/GPL license is a turn off.

What's wrong with Rcpp?

And what's wrong with GPL? Unless you're planning on distributing your code, you shouldn't even need to think about it.
