Agreed, while python's biggest shame-to-fame is its inability to leverage multiple cpus through multithreading (or coroutines).. the flip side is that it is so trivial to interact with C-code that it makes up for that in a unique way that has its own value.
IF you need a language where you need to do a lot in C but what the convience of high-level language where you can get away with it, python is great... if you need a high level language that is cpu-intensive and effecient and easy to write without wanting to touch C, then python is a horrible choice.
Me personally, I use python a lot (just finished a 2-year project in python)... but over the years have found it just isnt a suitable language for most things, because of these very reasons.
