+1
I'm perhaps biased here; most of my Python programs don't have user interfaces, because they don't "talk" to people, they talk to other programs. The binary APIs for the OS are essential. I use and deeply appreciate all the string handling features in Python, particularly its firm grip on Unicode issues, but that's useful instead of essential.
