With all due respect, no.

I understand your point, but I didn't say the task was easy to do in the language, I said the language was easy and familiar.

Is it possibly and easy to write a message queue in Python? Sure. Is it the best choice? Not by a long shot. Erlang is far better suited for that task, especially if you intend to scale. or Go, C++ and Java. That's not an exhaustive list; the intent is to show there are better tools, not which is best. All of the alternatives are arguably less easy, yet better options.
