Python is LOT more, than just a scripting language. Python interpreter is,
maybe first of all, the virtual machine. Therefore, one may apply Python in
nearly all fields, where the compiled languages dominate.

Python supports not only the procedural programming, but, OO, and what is not
less important, functional programming

Python is the first class language for pedagogical purposes.

Personally, I need Python for scientific computations. Not each language has
SciPy (Scientific Python), NumPy (Numeric Python) and MMTK (Molecular Modeling
ToolKit) modules.

Indeed, Python's big advantage is the refined set of modules.
