Not at all, I have no Python installed on any of my Plan 9 equipment
and can build Go and most of its ecology on each of them (there are
other issues, of course).  What I can't do is "develop" the tool
chain, for that I use Python/Mercurial/Codereview on a NetBSD host
and, where sometimes git is required, I use my Ubuntu workstation.
It's a mess, of course, but I manage to maintain some sort of
discipline despite it all.
