Does opensource move faster with Python?

I just surfed over to the GnuCash website. I've been waiting quite a
while for a "real" release.. But it never seems to come.. Same thing
with Mozilla.... I'm not trying to rag on them.. But I have to wonder:
would development move any faster using Python to prototype these
tools? That's the claim I keep hearing about python.. But how come
more of the free software world isn't using it?

ARE there projects out there using python as a prototyping language
with the possible intention of discarding it eventually and rewriting
in C?

Cheers,
