Those were your words, not mine. I need not make any assumptions.
I just replied listing use cases where Python shine due to its strengths, performance being mostly irrelevant. I didn't even mention data science.
And although it's beyond the point, if I was to use Python, why should I care in which language a library was written? If the language allows libraries written in other languages, this is actually a nice feature.

That’s actually my primary use case for python, playing with C/C++ libraries in a repl because they don’t natively have one. Sure, it takes work to wrap a library but that’s something I enjoy doing.
