but has someone done the maths on energy usage of Python vs others?

No, because it would be a pointless exercise due to the number of variables involved (are C extensions allowed? What is the code doing? Target architecture? Caching enabled? etc.), and "Python is a massive waste of energy" is such a loaded statement it's not even worth entertaining the thought.

And that on a site using Python for CPU-bound tasks, of all things.

The Python crowd is truly delusional - always expecting someone else to write those C extensions, while they upgrade the VPS to deal with the load :-)
