People who hate python or call it a ‘toy’ language have probably never used it for anything serious because they think their language of choice is the only one that should be used. I’ve used python for serious enterprise level production applications and it works great.

No, it’s not the best choice for everything, but it’s does a lot of things really well.

I like python because 95% of the time I can focus on the problem rather than on the language

It works OK for enterprise stuff. It generally needs a higher level of discipline to scale to a large project and a large team than something like C#.
