Sure, but that is the feature that enables people to build apps in slow, interpreted languages like Python in the first place. The parent comment had somehow made it sound like that was a negative.
I did not mean "huge win" as in it is something unique to Python. I meant it in the sense that it greatly adds to the value proposition of the language.
Even 5-10 years ago, that's not a "huge success story"; that's table stakes for any serious language.
