I agree with the points above, but python isn't a language I'd chose to do those things.

For me python is a great language for proxying between systems/devices. For example it's easy enough to use python to expose modbus registers in a more consumable format or when doing a diy Iot solution (esp8266's are crazy cheap and easy to make smart plugs/lamps etc). The bonus with python is it will work on most OS's without compilation, or cross compilation of the resulting software or its requirements.
