C#
Much more powerful, faster and neat.
Python is more like scripting, it's not real programming stuff.

Let me disagree with you. I do not understand what do you mean by powerful here. I would like to know the stuffs which we cannot do in python and we can do in c#.
C# is statical type language with single-Inheritance/Interface Class-Based OO and same is the python.
This actually not the language but what do you want to do with that language is the matter of concern. Lets say if you want to do some text processing than we can do it in python or perl much earlier and much better than c#.
IF you want to make commercial application to sell than, for sure, c# is the better choice.

The Google team didn't know about C#, and made your engine in Python 
Writing bots on C# is easiest way. Currently I look to make multiplatform bot using other language.
You may try to use iMacros plugin for ffx or chrome to simple automated task

Whenever I think about C#, sophisticated and sometimes elegant software and tools come to mind.
Whenever I think about Python, script kiddies and wannabe 'hackers' come to mind.
C# is so much more powerful than Python in every way, shape or form. I'd suggest you go down that path.

C# is Windows only (Mono sucks), and Python is cross-platform. Also Python would be better for a beginner (which OP clearly is).
And instead of C#, OP, you should try and learn VB.net, cause it can produce the same apps as C# (since both C#, and VB.net are based on .NET), and is far easier.

I disagree :
1) Python might be easier to learn,But if you master C# a transition to C++,Javascript,etc will be easy (it was for me at least) So there you have to weigh the pros and cons.
2) I would recommend C# for creating bots any day over VB,Yes they are both built upon the .net framework,But true threading in VB can be a pain and C# is so much more powerful in my opinion.
3) I have been writing bots for a little over 2 years and i have never had anyone ask for a cross platform bot or IM tool.I do agree Mono sucks,But the OP asked what would be best for creating bots

Well, those google, bittorrent and balnder 3D developers are also included in your list of kiddies wannabe hackers.

No real experience with C# (C/C++, Python dev here) but its pretty much the same thing really...
I mean sure you got different keywords, some different base libraries, braces, etc. But its no huge (or for that matter any) paradigm shift. Its not like comparing say C# to lisp or python to arc or some such.
Granted, no REPL in C# (which sucks), mono is also very shitty from what I've heard. You are pretty much stuck with MS. Apart from that C# is a nice enough language. Funny enough its becoming more functional in its nature as time goes on, so we'll see how it will all turn out.

1) OP wants to code bots, nothing more. And transitioning to another language, shouldn't be an issue, if he understands the logic behind OOP.
2) Why do you say C# is more powerful than VB.net? Both produce the same executables, and both are based on the same library. It has to do with the programmer, and now, there are more C# "masters" than VB.net.
3) Yeap nobody asks for cross platform bots, but it sure is an advantage. Bots are be more efficient/quick in Linux, than Windows, even with low end PC's, with little RAM.

So, you are claiming that the same application will execute/run faster on UNIX system than a Windows one ?
Any proof, benchmarks, tests ?

Tell that to Google. Almost everything they create and acquire is written in Python.

please stop the confusion between those 2 languages; it's simple!
Phyton
*Scripting language
*multi platform
*Easier to learn
C#
*More powerfull
*Programming language
*Harder to master
stop comparing a scripting language to a programming language, please bare in mind that C# is never intended to work on Linux systems. And then you still got C++, Which is multi platform ass well sorry to say but Microsoft still is far beyond the rest of them.
