But other than that, yes, Python's a good choice for this. (I find it amusing how I said "yeah, good idea to make a DSL, I wonder if you can capitalize on Python" and you said "don't make a DSL, maybe you can capitalize on Python" - opposite opening argument, same conclusion and recommendation.)
I am aware that every substantial module, let alone package, defines a domain-specific extension or vocabulary. str.format and struct even have their own mini-language (which people tend to forget if not used regularly). What I meant was to not invent a domain-specific base language and syntax that is a complete replacement for an existing one.
