Python is today's Perl. It ditched the philosophical sermons of simplicity, minimality and all that, for practicality almost 15 years back. Since then, Python 3, has not shown any reluctance to add new syntactical features and sugar. The ecosystem is large. The language is flexible enough today to give Perl like feels from the 1990s and 2000s. Python is no longer big in web dev thanks to React, and its back to being a backend glue language(Java being a language for serious backend enterprise work) with Perl like philosophical leanings.
As of today think of Python as a Perl with mandatory tab based formatting.
