Not sure how profitable comparisons of languages like this are, but it is a choice we all face. Go mostly leaves things out (except perhaps a better concurrency story than python), so in a feature by feature comparison, it's going to look less impressive at first.
It's certainly less easy to get up to speed in if you're learning programming for the first time, and in different domains it has completely different strengths (for example python has far more mature science and data analysis libraries, because lots of people are using it for that).
