Many reasons, many are of course pretty subjective, but it's been called 'executable pseudocode' for good reason. Out of all the languages I've used, it gets in the way the least, and often by a pretty wide margin. I agree that working with Python code from an undisciplined/sloppy/inexperienced developer can be a pain (although in those situations I've found code from those same developers in others languages to be a problem too, but maybe worse in Python? I dunno), but in the hands of a solid dev, Python code is so readable and easy to follow, that to me code in other languages often feels much noisier. YMMV of course.
