Details

Netbeans 7.x drops (or, at least, gives an uncertain future to) Python features, either as builtin or officially supported plugin. Maybe we should get in touch with the devs and, if it is the case, remove "IDE for Python" from the description of the package.
This task depends upon

Thanks for reporting. I tried asking in #netbeans at freenode and this was how it went:

15:44:06 xyproto | Hi, is Python still supported by Netbeans?
15:45:42 marvi | xyproto: not by Oracle, so I think it's dying or already dead.
15:46:06 xyproto | marvi: okay, thank you

While this isn't an authorative source, all indications points to the removal of Python support from Netbeans.

I'll update the package.

I was also given this link: http://wiki.netbeans.org/PythonInstall

"Support for python in NetBeans 7 is left to community - which currently means it's almost zero."

(Edit: removed double post)

The wiki is still a community resource, but at least clearly states that NB devs dropped Python.

Furthermore, Python plugin is not even in NB default plugin repos. So I would say I totally agree with your deduction.
