I think they answered that question, and you can probably find it with a Google search - but the reason was this: Python was too slow, especially for the time, which I think is already an uncontested fact.
But for the future? Yeah, I can only hope Google is working on switching Android to Go in a few years. It doesn't even have to be an abrupt change - which definitely won't be - they're not insane. But they can add the language in the NDK or something, and then just promote it to developers as the main language they should be using when making new Android apps.
