Actually my primary use is CLIs, integrations, and such. It used to be a great systems language (1.6-1.8, 2.x). But now I can’t rely on an OS having a reasonable version, or of libraries, so there’s the distribution problem. It’s really only good for apps or things I (or other Python people) are going to run. Part of it is that I don’t do analytics work. Now that PERL is niche, my use cases are no longer the target.
