The approval process for getting libraries okayed for production is a massive pain in the ass, and for good reason. Without a batteries included language, it'd be easier to write all those tools in-house than hope that maybe in two months I can get a library out in production, even though it's just JSON parsing or something. The "this is an official part of the language and held to high standards, guaranteed to be suitable for poduction and needing no approval beyond already being approved to use the language" makes Python way more preferable IRL than languages I love, but don't even include a random number generator in the standard library.
