Well, AFAICT, there's a branch of the compiler/stdlib with an "early stage research project" that lets you call Python from Swift. It's "hard-coded" to use an 8-year-old version of Python, and they say supporting anything newer would be "non-trivial".
It's a pet peeve of mine to see people exaggerate the capabilities of software systems, especially already-popular ones that don't need free PR.
