Python is not a master of anything... just popular garbage.
The reason not to teach Python is the same reason you'd use for preferring home-cooked meal to McDonald's take-out. And I'm saying it as a parent who has to compete with this food enterprise... I think, I'd be a horrible parent if I didn't allow any McDonald's food ever, but I certainly don't encourage it.
Similarly with Python: if you want to give your child something good: there are plenty of options that are better than Python. But, Python will be the inevitable garbage they will have to face due to its popularity. It would be counter-productive not to prepare the next generation to deal with it.
