If you’re actually building and shipping software as a business Python is great. The advantages of Python for a startup are many. Large pool of talent that can pickup the codebase on essentially day 1. Fairly easy to reason about, mature, code velocity, typically one and only one way to do things as opposed to JavaScript. There is way more to the story than raw performance.
It's not that great when you see that the majority of the Python code in businesses is a totally unmaintainable mess because it has incorrect, partial, or no type annotations, and is littered with serious errors that a most basic type checker would flag.
