So Python was not able to do the job? Or may be they don't know about Python

Python, as I found out to my detriment, is practically impossible to
sandbox effectively. Any language that hopes to gain full traction in
a browser-based environment MUST be secure against scripts gaining too
much control over the browser chrome.
I believe there was some idea of translating Dart into Javascript, which
can be done with Python also (Pyjamas).
Also, Dart is looking to support (optional) strict typing, which
Python doesn't do. That's a fairly major performance enhancement.
Cython support optional typing.
