Have you ever considered of mousing ambidextrously?

Me neither.

I actually made the switch suggested by the OP some years ago in an
attempt to control my RSI.  I never dreamed of switching the buttons
over.  I click with my ring finger, middle finger does the whirly
wheel and index finger does right clicks.

I'm now an ambidextrous mouse user.  I still can't draw stuff with my
left hand quite as well as my right, but I don't attempt that very
often!

I can't actually think of any possible way of getting this on topic,
so I'll just mention python now and we'll take it as read ;-)
