It bears mentioning that Python can satisfy many of Go's use cases too. A fairer way to put it is that there is a lot of overlap across modern programming languages

Well, the big feature of Go - non-process-based concurrency - is still impossible in (C)Python.

That's not exactly true: that' why something like twisted (and later async frameworks) was invented in the first place.

What is not possible is non-process-based, CPU-bound concurrency. Generally, python is poor choice in those cases anyway (there are exceptions of course).
