I don't think that the analogy has to be considered in the context of a monogamous relationship. Marriage has not always been monogamous -- in fact, almost exclusively in the Western Christian tradition has marriage been considered exclusively monogamous, most other cultures have allowed polygamous marriages.
From that context, the headline makes better sense -- you are not necessarily considering Python as the only tool in your toolbox, but as something that is worth taking home and making a life with, i.e., using Python as a mainstay in your professional life.
Python, like all programming languages, has its shortcomings, you are right. But potential wi(fe|ves) have shortcomings too -- in this mortal sphere, nothing is perfect, but we can't let that paralyze us.
