Fair enough. When I think of scientific uses of python I think astronomy, atmospheric physics, finite element analysis and linear systems using existing techniques... Existing techniques in general really. Fields where the interest is the data and the implications of the data. Fields like ML and NLP where the algorithm/technique is the thing of interest then yeah sure the code is important.
