Try to write a python program that can return exit code 0 if /etc/resolve.conf exists, the catch being that it has to return within 10ms on hardware 3 years old. The deal breaker is the time of the python interpretor to startup, and the time to interpret the file. Now imagine you're trying to write a command-not-found implementation that uses python to load yum. The Yum codebase is pretty huge, and by the time the 50ms "user needs results now" timer expires we're not even at "loading metadata" let alone returning results. Python is awesome for prototyping and for little scripts. It's just not awesome at everything.
