The projects I have in mind actually struggled even with small teams. Python is not good for anything besides scripting and small programs, what it was originally intended for.

Granted, I earn my money writing Python code among other things, but surely there have been a few successful Python projects in the past that were more than scripting and small programs.

Well, it is good at times for prototyping DSP and ML algorithms. And for embedding in a bigger application for scripting.

Its value decreases swiftly the less glue you require, since that is its real niche.
