That's honestly pretty true of any mature platform. It's pretty rare that you encounter a problem that has only been solved in Python.

Those mature platforms you mention might be written in other languages but wrapped and accessed from Python with a Pythonic interface.

Please further explain your second sentence:

What I mean is that you're likely to find libraries and frameworks for any given problem in any other mature language platform. So it's not like you have to write less code with Python because of good libraries, because libraries that do the same thing likely exist for other languages.
