I think python have the best libraries you can buy, and that makes python a very strong choice if you do not suffer the NIH syndrom or do not need extremely fast code (python is fast enough now).

One big issue i have though: the lack of easy multithreading reduce your possibilities, or at least limit your creativity: you will often choose to use async/await (and sometimes use signals) rather than use producer-consumer designs, which are often the optimal solutions.
