There are environments where Python is being actively discouraged in part due
to its memory footprint.  For example, we can't use Python on Ubuntu Touch for
long-running processes because the target platforms (phones, tablets) are
memory constrained.  Python will never be as conservative as C++, but it's
also unfortunate that the issue is bad enough for its use to be prohibited.

FWIW, Python 3 is acceptable for some short-lived processes on these
platforms.
