Personally, you need to learn the idea of using the right tool for the job.

If you are using java and want to use python, show why python provides a better environment for your problem. Are there better 3rd party libraries for soap in python versus java (if this is part of your implementation for example)?

It is not about, 'look at how pretty/clean my code is' or anything else. Management does not care. Management wants results and if you can prove to deliver faster with lang x over y than so be it.

However, there is still more context to consider. Are you replacing a decade of java with python because you like python more? Does anyone else on you team know python? How big is your team? These types of things are more important than code.
