I suppose your question actually was, why Python was not suckless.
Well, I had the fun to work with it for a few months in Blender to
write shaders and game logic, later on enjoyed studying the
portage-sources written in Python and came to the conclusion that the
language may be well-defined, but almost everything based on it
suffering from namespace-inconcistency.
I understand that the developers prefer well-definedness over
backwards-support, but it definitely is not too much to ask for not
having code break after minor version upgrades.
I also don't like the idea of lambda-functions, but this depends on
personal taste.
