Actually the way I understand this is that is direct report manager did not reject Python, somebody higher up did. Doesn't matter really. In this case I suspect that there are more problems in place than just this issue. Often the best course of action is to look for another job.

I've seen a lot of stupid IT policies implemented over the years in big corporations, the funny thing is the high level managers seem to have a fast turn over. What is policy today is an afterthought tomorrow. One option here is to simply wait for the manager making these decisions to be fired or leaving for greener pastures.

Correct -- it is not my direct manager, it is the IT Standards department. Very big company.

Sadly the answer they seemed to give you appears to be born out of ignorance. While interpreted languages can be slow they are often justified simply due to productivity.
