I hate to answer a troll, but I'll just mention that when people talk about a "glue language", they're not talking about using some Python code to connect two big systems together (although Python is good for that). What they are saying is that Python is a good language to serve as high-level logic interfacing lots of different library codes--often but not always written in faster languages--together in one program. In that case, yes, the program is written in Python. The word "glue" is probably not the best metaphor, since to most people it means "something you use to connect two objects together". A better metaphor would be like a "substrate language". A lot of materials do use a form of glue as the substrate, but never mind that.
