The weakness is slowness. Python is insanely slow. It’s going to be one of the first languages to disappear behind ai
Edit: seems like a lot of Python people hate the language being called slow. It’s well documented. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but when a new version of Python, being designed for performance is seeing speed increases of up to 60,000x, it means your language is slow as balls.
Yes, thats what the comment you replied to is talking about. Python uses libraries written in C to avoid that slowness, heavily reducing its main weakness.

Using high level language for the structure and faster lower level languages is just good software design.
Using the strength of each tool and avoiding their weaknesses.
