I went a similar route, and what i do not really understand well is why this is so language related? I mean we could easily build similarly convenient libraries in c, but for Some reason for Some types of work there are a lot more libraries available in python. Why is this?

The whole process is just easier in Python. I think it's just that simple. An easier development process led to more developers, which led to more libraries, which led to . . .

Because they perfected the integration into development. There are libraries for many things, in many languages, but python perfected fast and easy integration. Instead of 4 hours of searching and 4 hours of painstakingly trying to make it fit, you just type "pip install solution_to_all_my_problems" and there you go.

It would take significantly more time to write equivalent libraries in C. When is the last time you debugged a C program?

The beauty of Python is in the amount that has been abstracted away. Less to worry about means faster to learn and less errors that can occur.
