My totally amateur take: Python is C/C++ but without syntax decorations and pointer problems and who cares about speed when CPU cycle is so cheap. Python is shell but you can build large projects with a shebang change Python is Java but with less verbosity and no company behind If one only affords to learn/master a single language (which holds for the majority), this should be Python. The only drawback, there is no Python interpreter in browsers (like JS and PHP). But then Python might have faced anticompetitive measures :-)
