One of the biggest benefits of go vs python is that you only manage your dependencies during build. You end up with a single executable that is easy to deploy and mostly immune to the deployment of other things. In python, you have to also worry about deployment. To be safe, you need to carry the vm and other dependencies with you.

This means you can't just give any python program to someone and have it just work, unless it's pretty trivial.
