There's another dimension to this: how big is the codebase you have to maintain? This is a "pets versus cattle" thing.

If you like artistically crafting small bits of code, Python may work fine. If you're building something to last and need to shovel large amounts of code around while migrating API's, a statically typed language with a fast compiler will do more to help.

Python in the large is not very maintainable. I expect that a Rust codebase will eventually be pretty nice to maintain, after the tooling matures more. Currently, Go is probably easier, and quicker to write.
