If I would exclude the ecosystem I would still prefer Python for a bundle of cases. Off of the top of my head I’d prefer it for scripting, especially for simple state-heavy scripts where the formalities of immutability would mostly be a hindrance. I largely prefer working with Elixir at this point but I don’t find antagonistically comparing the two to be very useful.
I use both plenty. Ecosystem-wise I see plenty of points to building some things in Django where a batteries-included approach is the best trade-off compared to what I find useful about Phoenix. You get users, login and an admin UI with minimal effort.
Working with Raspberry Pi is significantly easier for quick and dirty things through Python than the more rigorous aporoach of using Nerves. Since that happens to be where the ecosystem lives.
