You might not use those features directly, but they're often used in library code. For example, attributes on functions are common technique for function decorators to store some associated data.

Fair point. Porting existing libraries is usually a bit of a struggle. Luckily for the particlar applications we use we get along just fine with the standard library subset, everything else is a mix of custom C++ and Python modules.
