Cool to see my hunch be backed by data. Python is a scripting language with OOP bolted on. Means there’s not really a styling consistency that other languages have, with things tending to look like PHP, a collection of various scripts that invoke one another
They don't tend to look like that. Grab any one of the packages people use in Python at is generally well-disciplined OOP code.
There are teams of people who don't come from an engineering background who do utilize Python as a series of scripts with some extra sugar. Just because you can do that doesn't mean that you should.
