Most things are better than python for system administration. For that you want a stable language that stays the same across time and OSes. There really isn't a single Python anymore: just pythons. Typical instructions to run anything python mean setting up a dependency manager manager container and then within a dependency manager to set up the custom python install for that specific application. This is standard practice because getting python applications to work with system python is dependency hell. Python is so popular and widely used it changes very fast. Even if those changes are improvements they break things.
