Yes #Python is a deeply unimpressive language, but in my experience it's tolerable for simple tasks as long as it's used correctly.
Most Python code out there is terrible because it's written by less experienced developers who don't read language and tool documentations and copy/paste what they find online (content itself written by junior developers), endlessly amplifying the problem.
This is the curse of languages perceived as easy for beginners.
