    R is a stats language and Python is a  general programming/scripting language with lots of good data/stats libraries. 

    Exactly!  Why is this even a question?  Apples vs oranges.  FWIW many use Python for setting up and calling R programs.  Can't say I've ever heard of R calling Python (can it?) though.
