In the case of Google Go was developed in part to take over some of workloads previously done in Python; a language that is comparably as easy to develop in, with better tools and better performance. I suspect this is why the comparisons keep popping up.

Go definitely performs better, buy I think it'd disingenuous to claim that Go has better tooling.
Just by being a statically typed language, Go does have far better tooling and indeed many languages seem to copy its tooling concepts.
What Python does have is a far richer third party library base.

I assumed this is what you were talking about. i.e. Ipython, Jupyter, pdb, etc.
