I have more uses for Python than the author, but one of these uses is really obvious: Python as C code generator. Python + C is a very powerful combination: metaprogramming, special constructs etc. Basically, with Python you can get rid of preprocessor hacks and messing with templates.

Ah, right! I actually use python for code generation as well, just forgot to mention it. For instance the Z80 and 6592 CPU emulators use generated code for the instruction decoder: https://github.com/floooh/chips/tree/master/codegen https://github.com/floooh/chips/tree/master/codegen
