Python isn’t as powerful as lisp so you end up standing on your head to do some of the things that are so straightforward in lisp.

I suppose using python might make it easier for some people to translate what they learned in class into their work, at least if that is in python.

Python has gobs of libraries so it’s easier to write complex programs that can benefit from that than it is to try the same in lisp.
