I think it was addressed by python already:
Eventually, someone working on Python (ironically, of all things) noticed this waste of good performance
But It would be good to know when & what versions.
I'm also not sure why this is "ironic". Who else but the experts on python would be more likely to discover this & resolve the issue? Which basically makes the whole thing a non-issue:
Python creators made a choice when creating python. A while later they realized they could improve performance by revisiting that choice.
The tone of the article makes it sound like this was an embarrassing mistake of massive proportions.

The article is talking about a bad decision in ELF and dynamic linking, not in Python specifically. The Python people just discovered that disabling that default behavior was useful.
