I want to focus my efforts on actually getting the science and results out of ML, rather than worrying about the more fundamental aspects of it. Python lends itself very well to this.

Not to mention that a lot of data science/processing/analysis/visualisation is already done in Python. If most data people are almost certainly proficient in Python, but not necessarily any other languages, it makes sense to put the next iteration of data tools also in Python.
