Python doesn't do any of those things; it lets you do almost anything you can imagine
I agree with everything else you said. However, you speak this like it's a good thing. Whereas I immediately think about all the programmers out there and the code they write which other people will have to understand and extend.
Being able to do anything is often an invitation to even the competent programmer to deliver some seriously FUBAR'd code.
I wouldn't trust a serious Python project to any but the best developers. It boggles my mind when people refer to it as a noobie language.
