Python has been gaining a good reputation and respectability in many areas of software development. We have chosen Python after getting the new CCD detector for the coudé spectrograph of Ondřejov observatory 2m telescope. We describe our experience with the design and implementation of PESO, stressing the easiness of quick changes of the GUI, together with the capability of separate testing of every module using the Python debugger, IPython.
