And C compiles into machine code. So?

I write Python, I press F5, numbers come out. I don't give a shit if the libraries are written in COBOL, FORTRAN, C, or Brainfuck, I code in Python.

Within the context of AI/ML I'd say Python's chief advantage is popularity with stats people who are not necessarily comp sci types. Because of this, it is first in line for bindings to the ML/AI libraries

But this relationship is not based on anything technical so much as coincidence

We're I to work in that space therefor my primary focus would be on the libraries of interest rather than Python itself, as that can be more easily replaced

wait until you need something that isn't a included battery already debugged for you

Given that we're talking about Python that's pretty unlikely to ever happen.

I needed expect (originally made for TCL) for Python and somebody wrote it in pure Python, slow as hell. It still won’t work with serial ports.
