There are several dimensions to this in Racket. For one, it has a platform-independent GUI library as part of the standard library, which Python (like most other programming languages) hasn't. That makes it interesting for writing GUI applications or using it for experimental programs which might require )or benefit from) a GUI later. Racket has also a standardized package management, which is much easier to use than the different Python facilities. Racket has a much better performance compared to Python and that in turn makes it possible to implement many algorithms directly in Racket which would be a C extension in Python, which makes it more complex to use them. Another thing is that Racket, as a member of the Lisp family, has also a deep low-level support. For example, it supports multi-threading with both green threads and os-level threads, futures, synchronization, making it possible to write parallel algorithms, which isn't practically possible in standard Python.
