I'm not a fan of node, but python is horrible in this regard, especially with package management and environments. I'd take "make random js code work" to the python equivalent any day, which is already a bigger challenge nowadays because of the chaos caused by the ES module transition. Other challengers are C++ (because people get creative), C# (1000 different runtimes and library support) and Java (I don't know where to start). I have a love/hate relationship with Go but this is the area where it shines.
