Right. But what people care in the end is programs that get the work done. If a mix of Python plus C/C++ libs are good enough and handy enough then they get used. For example I am able to use the PIL Python lib with Python to load, save and process jpeg images at high-speed with few lines of handy code. So I don't care if PIL is written in C++: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
Sure, but that's not about the language. It's about the richness of the ecosystem that supports the language, and Python certainly has a rich one.
