Count me as one who does not. Python is a general-purpose language.

True.

Which Python implementation are you talking about? Run time is not a
property of the language. It is a property of the language
implementation.

Python is always compiled in order to run. The process of turning Python
source into Python bytecode *is* compilation.

True.

I don't know what this sweeping statement means. Who is not satisfied?
There are a great many people who are satisfied with Python for many
general purpose needs.

Python is not “a scripting language”, it's general purpose. It is
compiled. It has many implementations and some are faster than others.
So I think you'll need to work on your arguments some more, in order to
justify what points you're making.
