Abrightwell says it well, I think. Python is an essential language in terms of its exceptional readability and simplicity. The performance and weak typing are valid criticisms in certain situations, but it is incredibly valuable for rapid prototyping of algorithms and even large pieces of software. Django is an excellent example; I was able to create a dynamic upcoming match display for our team in a few hours, that integrates with our scouting system.
