Python, to its credit, has the nice inclusive property of extensible interpreters of being friendly to "hang things" onto just like ornaments on trees. By linking with C/C++-libraries and adding glue/shim code, anything can be used from Python. This facility and interpretive execution (as Eric Johnson observed above) makes it a natural for discovery and trying of things.
These virtues may seem less so in eventual deployments, at scale, and in other cases.
