One of things I really like about Python is the huge standard library. Contrary to JavaScript (which I think is a really weird recommendation), where you need to npm install half the world.

It wouldn’t matter if those dependencies where stable, but JS has a culture of abandon libraries or to make backward-breaking changes every week, so upgrading a project after just a few months is a major pain
That's what I learned when I had to do front-end development using Angular: never upgrade packages.
And you never know if package Y required by package X will break the security of your app.
