And no one used it, you know what was before C ? You probably don't because no one used it also after that. Azureus was developed 13 years ago and that was the client that was used... I know because i remember it also. And then they (from bittorrent inc) changed their python version to C++ and called it uTorrent because python was too slow and no one wanted to use it...

Lots of people used the Python client because not everyone wanted to run Java (memory hog) or were on Windows (uTorrent). Azureus had one advantage: first to support the DHT and trackerless operation.
