Python is great for what it does. I use it a fair amount. Its fast enough for me.
I admire the hutzpah to use it everywhere, but...But when people try to number crunch, and add c extensions and hey arduino could use an interpreted language! why don't we have it optimize itself (pypy) and so on.
When I learned it I thought I would reach programming bliss, as its reputation is so strong. But after I learned it I thought "its nice, but am I missing something?"
I think a statically typed language similar to Python might be the holy grail of languages. Maybe Nim, Scala, or even Kotlin could fulfill that role (I have no experience in any of these). Although, I am skeptical if JVM based languages could work well for that given their long start up times.
Python the MS Word of Programming Languages. People over use it like a Swiss Knife. Expand a little and use it when it is the proper tool for the proper job.
