Exactly. A script is a set of commands that you would have normally
entered by hand at a command prompt. But, after having gone through
the process a few times, you decided to shove them into a file to save
on typing.
Python is a programming language. Period.
[Yes, I know there's some sort of Python command interpreter intended
to be used for normal day-to-day use, but that's not what we're
talking about here.]
I classify some files that start with '#!/usr/bin/bash' as scripts,
but some are programs that just happen to be written in bash because
bash provides good facilities for doing filesystem manipulation and
running other executables.
I've never seen a Python program that I would consider a script.
But maybe that's just me...
