Sometimes you may need to narrow down the scope and explain a particular
implementation of python with its hardware, OS, and interpreter.
However, explaining just python, you do not know what the underlying
hardware/OS/interpreter is, and digging down into it is not possible.

Sure, but every language assumes a certain level of abstraction, and
when the abstraction breaks the language fails to be unambiguous and/or
portable.
