Taking this further, here's a comment from one of the maintainers on the relevant Google Group:

"One language only" is a marketing slogan. It's slightly misleading, since it doesn't look like you can implement meaningful applications in 100% Python or get away with zero knowledge of HTML and JS.
But it may be close, like you can spend 90% of your development time on Python, and write JS components in the remaining 10%.
I really don't think so. It might not be as mature as one might want in production, but from what I can tell, it certainly fulfills the title's assertion in enough useful contexts to be accurate.
What do you think would be a better title? I read "web apps" I think html, css, and js. I wasn't expecting (nor would I want to) to ship Python to the browser.
That might be what's being lost in translation here. Python is the development language. If we're to analogize, HTML/JS/CSS would be the runtime stack. Perhaps this is what's lost on mruniverse
Yes, for cases when an existing widget doesn't do what you want it to do.
You seem pretty steadfast in your commitment that this post misrepresents its content. I believe you should give it a deeper review and reevaluate your understanding.
I wouldn't label HTML and CSS as languages. Also, the fact that python code is transpiled to JavaScript, does not mean you're writing 'JavaScript', in the same way that writing C code isn't the same as writing assembly.
