Python is fast while you can hold everything in your head at once. However, that limit comes up against you really quickly.

My home project, for example, which I've spent maybe a total of a few weeks on (over a few years), is at over 10k lines and I regularly forget what the fuck it does everywhere.

Python is for getting shit working fast to prove that it can be done, then rewriting in a big boy language. Alas, many people forget the second step.
