I was originally using python (learned it in my first job back in 2001!) & that was the reason I eventually moved to other languages - python as a language is great but the tooling/ecosystem isn't for exactly these issues (or at least weren't at the time, that's also at least a decade+ ago by now). My impression at the time was that using it for server side stuff was fine (i have control of the server and simply install all the right things/versions myself) but packaging it up for end users to install on their desktops/mobile was a huge pain, there was no real easy/simple way to just export a self running installer that you double click (on windows/mac) or an IPA/APK (on ios/android) and end up with a running program the way users were used to from e.g. a bundled .net (at the time using mono, now ms provides cross platforms .net implementations themselves) or native c/c++ executable.
