Nonetheless, Python is by far the most common language that I find in "program scripting" situations

I must have been ineffective in explaining. APIs are things that software communicates with, and often are designed to not care about the language of implementation of their consumers. Unless the reason for using a Python library within Perl is so that the OP doesn't have to write a new API adapter, it's not likely that the language of implementation of the API and the language of implementation of the consumer should matter.
