I would have responded at more length, but thankfully Erik Max Francis
posted first and pointed out the (what should have been to me) obvious:
you're trolling.

In any event, you would not be able to say that after visiting a 
company (such as my current employer; contact me offline to arrange 
a visit if you're in the Toronto area) which makes extensive use of
Python as far more than a glue language.

We write almost exclusively in Python, and include in the set of
applications which we write: factory test automation, web applications,
standalone GUI programs, embedded systems, and something else... let
me think what it could be.... oh yeah, *glue*.  

But I'm now sure you're trolling (especially since we've never heard
you here before) so I doubt I'll respond to further posts.
