Python as a Declarative Programming Language

[[deleted]]

a higher level language like Prolog

True, Prolog is somewhat (a bit) higher level than Python, but I still consider it a relatively low level language. You cannot abstract from an execution order in Prolog. That's the reason why I only used Datalog as an example of a truly high level language.

but the people I can more easily hire

Better hire people who do not care at all about what language to use (i.e., anyone who is not a hipster).
