What are the major reasons python is preferred over javascript (node.js) for heavy computations?

Hey everyone, first time posting on reddit so let me know if any rules are broken. So I've worked extensively with Nodejs and I understand where it absolutely shines (the reactor pattern enabled by libuv). Great choice for a backend with a lot of async I/O. What I don't clearly understand is why python is preferred for heavy computation jobs as it is also a high level language and from what I have seen it is slower than js(nodejs). Is it because of the libraries available in python for working with data?
