I'd say that writing small stuff in Rust has two major advantages over Python:
1. Dependency management is s godsent compared to Python. With Rust I'm confident that I'll be able to pull the code on a new machine and just do `cargo build` and it will work. I'd like to use a lot of curses to describe Python here.
2. Python works well if you can fit everything in your head. But 5 years for now it's scary to make even smaller changes in a Python codebase. With Rust you'll get much more support from the compiler, wether it be refactoring, squashing bugs, or adding features.

So in the long run I prefer Rust.
