I have heard that SRE teams can get away with this on the idea that SREs usually are not as good at software engineering as SWEs, so some bad engineering practices can fly.
I never saw Python actually get used, though, in the projects I worked on.
First, there are two SRE ladders: SRE-SWE and SRE-SysEng. SRE-SWE have the same interviews and hiring bar as SWEs. SysEng have less coding interviews but I think the interview questions are more practical and less algorithm oriented.
Still, SREs are subject to the same rules and policies as SWEs when it comes to submitting code.
And in the end, I don't see why using python on some projects would be a bad engineering practice
yes, SRE uses loads of python, despite a decade+ pseudo-mandate to encourage Go

That's not my experience.

This is blatantly false, along with the idea that there’s only very little python.
