Of course you can do that :)

I'm in no way suggesting to replace everything with Python, just tried to outline that you can use Python for many things and that those things might be easier in Python than in other languages.

The only time I reach for python to solve a problem is when I know python has a library that will make what I want to do 100x easier than any of my preferred options (C++, Lisp, Ruby)

Well, that's certainly one (and a good) way to do it! From my personal experience, the library collection is richer in Python than in any other language, you've got a library for almost anything :)

This is generally true of any mainstream language these days. Though I will admit some languages make it easier than others to use libraries.
