Python expressiveness is very limited. It's easy to pick up, and because of that a lot of researchers and math geeks use it. The same happened with JavaScript. I first approached Python over 20 years ago, and I wasn't impressed. Then I had the opportunity to work with Python again 4 years ago, and I soon realised, not only how bad it is, but also how people don't really use it. People mainly write Python scripts, not real programs. It is a good scripting language, but I won't use it for any large a complex systems. First of all, his interpreter is one of the slowest in the programming world, second, because of its limited expressiveness, it's hard to design a complex system without code duplication. Python is nothing more than a good scripting language, and that's all.
