As a dumb end user, I would rather use a vector-based language (APL) like k than Python to play with this stuff. Probably no <i>arguable</i> advantage against overwhelming conventional programmer wisdom, just personal preference.
Studies have shown APL can be easier for <i>non-programmmers</i> to learn. I agree with this, but I do not wish to argue with <i>programmmers</i> about it.
