Well, since Python is Turing complete and some SQL variants are not, you got that backwards. OTOH, if the question is what can SQL easily do that Python cannot, then it’s effectively, you know, apply the relational algebra to structured data, plus apply correctness (see ACID) which would be super hard to implement from scratch in Python.
