Funnily enough, Python has never boasted that it's great for
mathematicians. Time and time again I see posts here that try to
explain Python from the POV of pure mathematics, and they always seem
to end up getting convoluted and awkward. The real world is not so
pure... and Python lives happily in the real world.
