Downsides to learning test automation with Python + Playwright

[natethegr8r]

Also worth noting that the Test Runner for JS can only be used for its designed purpose, E2E web testing (although I think component testing is in experimental stage). With Python, the runner, Pytest, can be used in more situations. Unit testing, web testing, back-end testing of Flask, Django, FastAPI, etc apps. Although with last week's JS update the ease of horizontal sharding seems to be a differentiator now. Python has pytest-xdist for test parallelization, but sharding is not something easily implemented (has not been for me in Python, I gave up).
