He gets by because Python is very useful "as is". I can say the same. When I log in on bare debian / centos or if I'm on a locked mac os. When i'm on a place or in a remote place in Africa. When I'm with customers locking down all the network with NDA, security badge and paranoia for desert... I can count on Python to be there for me and hashlib the stuff, etree thingy, zipfile the foo and uuid all the bars. It's a major feature. I can live without typing, but I would hate having to pip install a json parser.
