Many organizations don't, esp. if the actual product they produce is
not written in either of the languages. Some code may exist, but there
is no "official" standard. And if there is, there is a good
possibility of changing it if you are able to demonstrate clear
technical superiority in skunkworks projects. And w/ Python, you
are. Been there, done that :-).
