Exactly.

And you'd be amazed at how many of the things people say "oh, you
can't do *that* in Python" can actually be done 99% in Python and 1%
in some other language - often with the 1% being a standard library.
Sure, Python's arithmetic operations aren't fast enough to do heavy
computational work in - but what if you just deploy numpy and let
Fortran do the heavy lifting? You can write your application logic in
Python, and get the performance of Fortran.
