Interesting that Python is clustered as a "system oriented programming" language. A lot of people use it for web dev (e.g. using Django or Flask).

Perhaps there are lots of people/repos/projects that have both python code and C-extensions to python, causing them to cluster together.

I think of Python as programming language that lets me do anything from web, shell scripts, games, and even server environments (Matrix is a decent example). It's not my top language choice, but I still enjoy it as a scripting language because it has many use cases. I'm sure Ruby could be seen in a similar light as well, and maybe Perl as well.

So, a general purpose language.

I was interested to see that too. Especially how it was tightly clustered with C. Maybe there are a lot of projects of C modules with a Python wrapper bringing them all together?
