Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

A large part of Python's popularity is due to the fact that there's a reasonably well defined 'pythonic' way to do things, that everyone can learn and then have a decent experience using and reading code produced by others.

You can implement fancy operators, overloading, entire DSLs in Python; but by doing so you break the pythonic contract and make your creation stand alone with a separate learning curve. There are some valid reasons to do this, especially for bespoke in-house tooling, but open source modules intended for mass use have virtually no justification to deviate from the primitives which the entire community is used to.
