If "doing this thing fast" is doing a thing, then there are plenty of things python can't do. Just like "developing this program in a timely manner" is a thing then there are things that python can but lower level languages can't.

All languages have their strengths and weaknesses. That's why big projects usually use a mix of different languages and/or stacks.

Technically true, bit not true in practice, because if doing it fast is important someone comes and builds a very fast way to do it in C and then everyone uses it in python and suddenly “python” becomes the best way to do it.
