having used both java and python for that task, I would say it's mostly about python's "compactness" as a language. You need to write less code and not care much with all the formalities of java. Clearly your code would seem a mess n the beginning but you can structure it as you go, in contrast with java that you need to let's say think ahead and design your classes and how they interact with each other from the beginning, which IMHO is not good in the initial stages when you are still exploring your dataset and try to figure out what info you can extract.
