Does Python really follow its philosophy of "Readability counts"?

Yes I meant "bear" - bite me.
I never did say that python -is- suitable for
all applications or that all languages are suitable
for all purposes.
However, (others that are) claiming that Python
-is not- suitable because python does not
have XYZ feature is equally as foolish.
Who's to say that Python is not just as suitable
for the systems on-board a Boeing-747 then C++ ?
